Aug 14, 2020 · As the title states, I need to be able to calculate logs (base $10$) on paper without a calculator. For example, how would I calculate $\\log(25)$?

Feb 14, 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 …

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 …

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?

I think only some logarithms (e.g log to the base 10 10) aren't defined for 0 0 and negative numbers, is that right? I'm confused because on all the websites I've seen they say "logs are not defined for 0 0 …

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 …

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 …

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 …
