  2. Template:Log(x) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Log(x)

    Indicates a logarithm base 2, i.e. lg(x) or log 2 (x) This article uses computer notation for logarithms. All instances of log( x ) without a subscript base should be interpreted as being base two, also commonly written as lg( x ) or log 2 ( x ) .

    2 0: bit: 10 0: bit 1 bit – 0 or 1, false or true, Low or High (a.k.a. unibit) 1.442695 bits (log 2 e) – approximate size of a nat (a unit of information based on natural logarithms) 1.5849625 bits (log 2 3) – approximate size of a trit (a base-3 digit) 2 1: 2 bits – a crumb (a.k.a. dibit) enough to uniquely identify one base pair of DNA

  4. Change of base - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_of_base

    In mathematics, change of base can mean any of several things: . Changing numeral bases, such as converting from base 2 to base 10 ().This is known as base conversion.; The logarithmic change-of-base formula, one of the logarithmic identities used frequently in algebra and calculus.

  5. Logarithmic scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_scale

    Unlike a linear scale where each unit of distance corresponds to the same increment, on a logarithmic scale each unit of length is a multiple of some base value raised to a power, and corresponds to the multiplication of the previous value in the scale by the base value. In common use, logarithmic scales are in base 10 (unless otherwise specified).

  6. Dynamic range - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_range

    It is measured either as a ratio or as a base-10 or base-2 (doublings, bits or stops) logarithmic value of the ratio between the largest and smallest signal values. [ 3 ] Electronically reproduced audio and video is often processed to fit the original material with a wide dynamic range into a narrower recorded dynamic range for easier storage ...

  7. List of logarithmic identities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_logarithmic_identities

    The identities of logarithms can be used to approximate large numbers. Note that log b (a) + log b (c) = log b (ac), where a, b, and c are arbitrary constants. Suppose that one wants to approximate the 44th Mersenne prime, 2 32,582,657 −1. To get the base-10 logarithm, we would multiply 32,582,657 by log 10 (2), getting 9,808,357.09543 ...

    Mathematics: √ 2 + 1 ≈ 2.414 213 562 373 095 049, the silver ratio; the ratio of the smaller of the two quantities to the larger quantity is the same as the ratio of the larger quantity to the sum of the smaller quantity and twice the larger quantity. Mathematics: e ≈ 2.718 281 828 459 045 087, the base of the natural logarithm.
