  2. List of logarithmic identities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_logarithmic_identities

    ln(r) is the standard natural logarithm of the real number r. Arg(z) is the principal value of the arg function; its value is restricted to (−π, π]. It can be computed using Arg(x + iy) = atan2(y, x). Log(z) is the principal value of the complex logarithm function and has imaginary part in the range (−π, π].

  3. Log-normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log-normal_distribution

    A probability distribution is not uniquely determined by the moments E[X n] = e nμ + ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ n 2 σ 2 for n ≥ 1. That is, there exist other distributions with the same set of moments. [4] In fact, there is a whole family of distributions with the same moments as the log-normal distribution. [citation needed]

  4. Prime-counting function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime-counting_function

    In mathematics, the prime-counting function is the function counting the number of prime numbers less than or equal to some real number x. [1] [2] It is denoted by π(x) (unrelated to the number π). A symmetric variant seen sometimes is π 0 (x), which is equal to π(x) − 1 ⁄ 2 if x is exactly a prime number, and equal to π(x) otherwise.

  5. Logarithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithm

    The graph of the logarithm base 2 crosses the x-axis at x = 1 and passes through the points (2, 1), (4, 2), and (8, 3), depicting, e.g., log 2 (8) = 3 and 2 3 = 8. The graph gets arbitrarily close to the y-axis, but does not meet it. Addition, multiplication, and exponentiation are three of the most fundamental arithmetic operations.

  6. Natural logarithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_logarithm

    The natural logarithm of x is generally written as ln x, log e x, or sometimes, if the base e is implicit, simply log x. [2] [3] Parentheses are sometimes added for clarity, giving ln(x), log e (x), or log(x). This is done particularly when the argument to the logarithm is not a single symbol, so as to prevent ambiguity.

  7. Log–log plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log–log_plot

    A log–log plot of y = x (blue), y = x 2 (green), and y = x 3 (red). Note the logarithmic scale markings on each of the axes, and that the log x and log y axes (where the logarithms are 0) are where x and y themselves are 1. Comparison of linear, concave, and convex functions when plotted using a linear scale (left) or a log scale (right).

  8. Prime number theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_number_theorem

    Certainly y is not zero, since ζ(s) has a simple pole at s = 1. Suppose that x > 1 and let x tend to 1 from above. Since () has a simple pole at s = 1 and ζ(x + 2iy) stays analytic, the left hand side in the previous inequality tends to 0, a contradiction. Finally, we can conclude that the PNT is heuristically true.

  9. Stirling's approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling's_approximation

    The formula was first discovered by Abraham de Moivre [2] in the form ! [] +. De Moivre gave an approximate rational-number expression for the natural logarithm of the constant. Stirling's contribution consisted of showing that the constant is precisely 2 π {\displaystyle {\sqrt {2\pi }}} .
