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 …

(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 …

Dec 27, 2016 · I had "the logarithm of a number is the index to which the base is raised to equal that number" drilled into me 60 years ago. It's still helpful when I need a reminder what does …

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...

Dec 11, 2021 · The discrete Logarithm is just reversing this question, just like we did with real numbers - but this time, with objects that aren't necessarily numbers. For example, if a ⋅ a =a2 …
