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 just ...

The log key is used for calculations of the form \({\log ... This is called the natural logarithm. In mathematics the natural logarithm \({\log _e}x\) is usually written as \(\ln x\).

[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 ...

where \(k\) and \(n\) are constants. Using logarithms, we can express \(y = k{x^n}\) in the form of the equation of a straight line \(y = mx + c\). Shown below is a straight line graph when ...
