A logarithm is a mathematical operation that determines how many times a certain number, called the base, is multiplied by itself to reach another number. Because logarithms relate geometric ...

[Ihsan Kehribar] points out a clever trick you can use to quickly and efficiently compute the logarithm of a 32-bit integer. The technique relies on the CLZ instruction which counts the number of ...

We prove the law of the iterated logarithm for a general class of M-estimators which covers in particular robust M-estimators and S-estimators of multivariate location-scatter. We also obtain an ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract We study a q-logarithm which was introduced by Euler and give some of its properties. This q-logarithm has not received much attention in the ...

I recently found a pretty neat mathematical book entitled How not to be wrong: The power of mathematical thinking by Jordan Ellenberg. The author outlines real-life applications that show how ...

Logarithm to the base e (approximately 2.7183).

There was a time not so long ago when calculators weren’t standard equipment for computations. The log() button did not exist, and some math had to be done by hand. John Napier and his logarithm ...

A scientific calculator has two 'log' buttons on it. These are marked log and ln. The log key is used for calculations of the form \({\log _{10}}x\). For example, to work out that \(\log 10000 = 4\) ...
