2. Common logarithm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_logarithm

   An important property of base-10 logarithms, which makes them so useful in calculations, is that the logarithm of numbers greater than 1 that differ by a factor of a power of 10 all have the same fractional part. The fractional part is known as the mantissa. [b] Thus, log tables need only show the fractional part. Tables of common logarithms ...

3. List of logarithmic identities - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_logarithmic_identities

   These are the three main logarithm laws/rules/principles, [3] from which the other properties listed above can be proven. Each of these logarithm properties correspond to their respective exponent law, and their derivations/proofs will hinge on those facts. There are multiple ways to derive/prove each logarithm law – this is just one possible ...

4. Logarithm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithm

   Common logarithms (base 10), historically used in logarithm tables and slide rules, are a basic tool for measurement and computation in many areas of science and engineering; in these contexts log x still often means the base ten logarithm. [10] In mathematics log x usually refers to the natural logarithm (base e). [11]

5. Logarithmic scale - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_scale

   A logarithmic unit is a unit that can be used to express a quantity (physical or mathematical) on a logarithmic scale, that is, as being proportional to the value of a logarithm function applied to the ratio of the quantity and a reference quantity of the same type. The choice of unit generally indicates the type of quantity and the base of the ...

6. Discrete logarithm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_logarithm

   For example, log 10 10000 = 4, and log 10 0.001 = −3. These are instances of the discrete logarithm problem. Other base-10 logarithms in the real numbers are not instances of the discrete logarithm problem, because they involve non-integer exponents. For example, the equation log 10 53 = 1.724276… means that 10 1.724276… = 53.
