  2. Log–log plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loglog_plot

    In science and engineering, a loglog graph or loglog plot is a two-dimensional graph of numerical data that uses logarithmic scales on both the horizontal and vertical axes. Power functions – relationships of the form y = a x k {\displaystyle y=ax^{k}} – appear as straight lines in a loglog graph, with the exponent corresponding to ...

  3. Natural logarithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_logarithm

    The exponential function can be extended to a function which gives a complex number as e z for any arbitrary complex number z; simply use the infinite series with x =z complex. This exponential function can be inverted to form a complex logarithm that exhibits most of the properties of the ordinary logarithm.

  4. Logarithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithm

    Because log(x) is the sum of the terms of the form log(1 + 2 −k) corresponding to those k for which the factor 1 + 2 −k was included in the product P, log(x) may be computed by simple addition, using a table of log(1 + 2 −k) for all k. Any base may be used for the logarithm table. [53]

  5. List of logarithmic identities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_logarithmic_identities

    The multiple valued version of log(z) is a set, but it is easier to write it without braces and using it in formulas follows obvious rules. log(z) is the set of complex numbers v which satisfy e v = z; arg(z) is the set of possible values of the arg function applied to z. When k is any integer:

  6. Exponential function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_function

    Exponential functions with bases 2 and 1/2. In mathematics, the exponential function is the unique real function which maps zero to one and has a derivative equal to its value. . The exponential of a variable ⁠ ⁠ is denoted ⁠ ⁡ ⁠ or ⁠ ⁠, with the two notations used interchangeab

  7. Log-normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log-normal_distribution

    This relationship is true regardless of the base of the logarithmic or exponential function: If ⁡ is normally distributed, then so is ⁡ for any two positive numbers , . Likewise, if e Y {\displaystyle \ e^{Y}\ } is log-normally distributed, then so is a Y , {\displaystyle \ a^{Y}\ ,} where 0 < a ≠ 1 {\displaystyle 0<a\neq 1} .

  8. Exponentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation

    The definition of e x as the exponential function allows defining b x for every positive real numbers b, in terms of exponential and logarithm function. Specifically, the fact that the natural logarithm ln(x) is the inverse of the exponential function e x means that one has = ⁡ (⁡) = ⁡

  9. Logarithmic growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_growth

    Logarithmic growth is the inverse of exponential growth and is very slow. [2] A familiar example of logarithmic growth is a number, N, in positional notation, which grows as log b (N), where b is the base of the number system used, e.g. 10 for decimal arithmetic. [3] In more advanced mathematics, the partial sums of the harmonic series
