(The base-10 logarithm of a number is roughly the number of digits in that number, for example.) Slide rules work because adding and subtracting logarithms is equivalent to multiplication and …

Jan 10, 2021 · My teacher told me that the natural logarithm of a negative number does not exist, but $$\ln (-1)=\ln (e^ {i\pi})=i\pi$$ So, is it logical to have the natural logarithm of a negative …

Oct 29, 2021 · Thank you for the answer. I am aware of the general solutions for complex numbers. In my question above I am specifically asking to the definition for real numbers. It is …

Jan 9, 2017 · The point is: the complex logarithm is not a function, but what we call a multivalued function. To turn it into a proper function, we must restrict what $\theta$ is allowed to be, for …

I'm thinking of making a table of logarithms ranging from 100-999 with 5 significant digits. By pen and paper that is. I'm doing this old school. What first came to mind was to use $\\log(ab) = \\lo...

I would like to know how logarithms are calculated by computers. The GNU C library, for example, uses a call to the fyl2x() assembler instruction, which means that logarithms are calculated …
