  2. Change of base - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_of_base

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

  3. Change of basis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_of_basis

    This change can be computed by substituting the "old" coordinates for their expressions in terms of the "new" coordinates. More precisely, if f(x) is the expression of the function in terms of the old coordinates, and if x = Ay is the change-of-base formula, then f(Ay) is the expression of the same function in terms of the new coordinates.

    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].

  5. Logarithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithm

    In mathematics, the logarithmto basebis the inverse function of exponentiationwith base b. That means that the logarithm of a number xto the base bis the exponentto which bmust be raised to produce x. For example, since 1000 = 103, the logarithm base 10{\displaystyle 10}of 1000is 3, or log10 (1000) = 3.

  6. Integration by substitution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integration_by_substitution

    Calculus. In calculus, integration by substitution, also known as u-substitution, reverse chain rule or change of variables, [1] is a method for evaluating integrals and antiderivatives. It is the counterpart to the chain rule for differentiation, and can loosely be thought of as using the chain rule "backwards."

  7. Change of variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_of_variables

    In mathematics, a change of variables is a basic technique used to simplify problems in which the original variables are replaced with functions of other variables. The intent is that when expressed in new variables, the problem may become simpler, or equivalent to a better understood problem. Change of variables is an operation that is related ...

  8. Common logarithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_logarithm

    Common logarithm. A graph of the common logarithm of numbers from 0.1 to 100. In mathematics, the common logarithm is the logarithm with base 10. [1] It is also known as the decadic logarithm and as the decimal logarithm, named after its base, or Briggsian logarithm, after Henry Briggs, an English mathematician who pioneered its use, as well as ...

  9. Arithmetic coding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_coding

    Indexes denote the position of the symbol in a message. In the special case where all frequencies are 1, this is the change-of-base formula. The upper bound U will be L plus the product of all frequencies; in this case U = L + (3 × 1 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 2) = 25002 + 108 = 25110. In general, U is given by:
