[Feynman] apparently is in the domain literature for numerical analysis of an algorithm which computes
the logarithm of a number between 1 and 2.  Any such number is a unique product of factors of the
form (1 + 2 ** -k) for integral k.  Logarithms of all such factors fit in a table of modest size.  
Determination of the sequence of k-s can be done with shifts and subtracts.  

Here's a [Tcl] coding that illustrates the algorithm:
