Napier's bones were used primarily for performing multiplication and division calculations. They were a set of numbered rods that allowed users to carry out arithmetic operations more efficiently than with traditional methods. Merchants, mathematicians, and educators utilized them to simplify computations, particularly in trade and accounting tasks. Overall, they facilitated quicker calculations before the advent of more advanced calculating tools.

John Napier
Napier's Bones. It was a type of abacus.
Because he wanted a simple calculating device. (It's "bones" actually.)
Yes, Napier's bones are still used today, primarily as an educational tool to teach basic multiplication and numeric concepts. While modern calculators and computers have largely replaced manual calculation methods, the bones demonstrate early mathematical principles and the history of computation. They can also serve as a hands-on resource in classrooms to engage students in learning about mathematics.

He invented the insert device, which was stuffed into a hole drilled in Napiers bones, which allowed a metal plank to go in. Although it wasnt a great improvement, his science in the insert device helped to the creation of Condoms by his son Samuel.
