The GNU C library, for example, uses a call to the fyl2x() assembler instruction, which means that logarithms are calculated directly from the hardware. So the question is: what algorithm is used by …

Logarithms are defined as the solutions to exponential equations and so are practically useful in any situation where one needs to solve such equations (such as finding how long it will take for a …

May 14, 2021 · Currently, in my math class, we are learning about logarithms. I understand that the common logarithm has a base of 10 and the natural has a base of e. But, when do we use them? For …

May 25, 2017 · The practical real-life application of logarithms in doing arithmetic came before the days of hand-held electronic calculators (if you are young, let me explain that a hand-held calculator was …

Feb 15, 2016 · I would need to be able to compute logarithms without using a calculator, just on paper. The result should be a fraction so it is the most accurate. For example I have seen this in math class …

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 number?

For the layman it might help to know that logarithms were used as a tool for multiplication back when ships sailed by celestial navigation. The sum of the logarithms of two numbers is the logarithm of …

You could build a table of certain logarithms: 10^ (-1/2), 10^ (-1/4), etc. Twenty such entries would allow you to calculate logs to 5 places by multiplying your target number by the appropriate power of ten …
