A logarithm is the power which a certain number is raised to get another number. Before calculators and various types of complex computers were invented it was difficult for scientists and ...

THE publication of these tables helps to mark a change in the use of logarithms, both for teaching and practical purposes. Nowadays most teachers use four-figure tables for teaching purposes, even in ...

Logarithmic tables of numbers and trigonometrical functions, by Baron von Vega. Tr. from the 40th or Dr. Bremiker's thoroughly rev. and enl. ed., by W.L.F. Fischer ..

\({\log _a}a = 1\) (since \({a^1} = a\)) so \({\log _7}7 = 1\) \({\log _a}1 = 0\) (since \({a^0} = 1\)) so \({\log _{20}}1 = 0\) \({\log _a}p + {\log _a}q = {\log _a ...

The Monthly publishes articles, as well as notes and other features, about mathematics and the profession. Its readers span a broad spectrum of mathematical interests, and include professional ...

Logarithms are everywhere in mathematics and derived fields, but we rarely think about how trigonometric functions, exponentials, square roots and others are calculated after we punch the numbers into ...

A law of the iterated logarithm is derived for the empirical distribution functions of a sequence of independent identically distributed random variables. Convergence is in the uniform topology on the ...
