The logarithm of an infinite cardinal number κ is defined as the least cardinal number μ such that κ ≤ 2 μ. Logarithms of infinite cardinals are useful in some fields of mathematics, for example in the study of cardinal invariants of topological spaces , though they lack some of the properties that logarithms of positive real numbers possess.

In Russian grammar, the system of declension is elaborate and complex.
