  2. Logarithm of a matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithm_of_a_matrix

    The exponential of a matrix A is defined by =!. Given a matrix B, another matrix A is said to be a matrix logarithm of B if e A = B.. Because the exponential function is not bijective for complex numbers (e.g. = =), numbers can have multiple complex logarithms, and as a consequence of this, some matrices may have more than one logarithm, as explained below.

  3. Logarithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithm

    In mathematics, the logarithm to base b is the inverse function of exponentiation with base b. That means that the logarithm of a number x to the base b is the exponent to which b must be raised to produce x. For example, since 1000 = 10 3, the logarithm base of 1000 is 3, or log 10 (1000) = 3.

  4. Binary logarithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_logarithm

    The binary logarithm is the logarithm to the base 2 and is the inverse function of the power of two function. As well as log 2, an alternative notation for the binary logarithm is lb (the notation preferred by ISO 31-11 and ISO 80000-2).

  5. Complex logarithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_logarithm

    Such complex logarithm functions are analogous to the real logarithm function: >, which is the inverse of the real exponential function and hence satisfies e ln x = x for all positive real numbers x. Complex logarithm functions can be constructed by explicit formulas involving real-valued functions, by integration of 1 / z {\displaystyle 1/z ...

  6. Log probability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log_probability

    The logarithm function is not defined for zero, so log probabilities can only represent non-zero probabilities. Since the logarithm of a number in (,) interval is negative, often the negative log probabilities are used. In that case the log probabilities in the following formulas would be inverted.

  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 ...

  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
