Logarithms are a shortcut for exponents. There are patterns in logarithms that are fairly easy to understand. For example, the logarithm of 100 to base 10 is 2. The logarithm of 1000 to base 10 is 3.

Abstract. For f analytic and close to convex in D = {z : |z| < 1}, we give sharp estimates for the logarithmic coefficients γn of f defined by log f ( z ) z = 2 ∑ n = 1 ∞ γ n z n when n = 1, 2, 3.
