Logarithms were in use for hundreds of years until mechanical machines were able to calculate larger numbers in the late 19th century, and eventually, computers took over the task in the 20th century.

Because logarithms relate geometric progressions to arithmetic progressions, examples are found throughout nature and art, such as the spacing of guitar frets, mineral hardness, ...

Typical algorithms used to compute logarithms are not quick and have a variable execution time depending on the input value. The technique [Ihsan] is using is both fast and has a constant run time.

THERE can be little doubt that much time is lost by students and others who have occasion to make numerical calculations through unfamiliarity with the practical advantages of logarithms. In the ...

Logarithms are a common idea today, even though we don’t use them as often as we used to. After all, one of the major uses of logarithms is to simplify computations, and computers do that jus… ...

Interpretation of logarithms in a regression . If you do not see the menu on the left please click here. Taken from Introduction to Econometrics from Stock and Watson, 2003, p. 215:. Y=B0 + B1*ln(X) + ...

Consequently, we suggest the simple expedient of using logarithms to the base 2 (log 2) to express serological titration data. You have full access to this article via your institution.
