  • Abstract
    In a recent correspondence1Lee and Edgar present a logarithmic number system and describe algorithms for the four basic arithmetic operations. Although it is encouraging to see continued interest in the area of specialized number systems, Lee and Edgar´s work represents a duplication of work published in this TRANSACTIONS in 1975[1].
