A logarithm is a mathematical operation that determines how many times a certain number, called the base, is multiplied by itself to reach another number. Because logarithms relate geometric ...

[Ihsan Kehribar] points out a clever trick you can use to quickly and efficiently compute the logarithm of a 32-bit integer. The technique relies on the CLZ instruction which counts the number of ...

Let $\{X_i\}$ be a sequence of independent, identically distributed nondegenerate random variables and $S_n = \sum^n_{i = 1}X_i$. We consider the question for various ...

Self-normalized processes arise naturally in statistical applications. Being unit free, they are not affected by scale changes. Moreover, self-normalization often eliminates or weakens moment ...

There was a time not so long ago when calculators weren’t standard equipment for computations. The log() button did not exist, and some math had to be done by hand. John Napier and his logarithm ...

NO practical man ever saw the least difficulty either in the idea of logarithms to a given base or in the use of common logarithms in arithmetical work. But if the practical man becomes inquisitive as ...

Logarithm to the base e (approximately 2.7183).
