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.

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… ...

The priority encoder output drives the barrel shifter’s shift-count input, which normalizes the input so that the most significant ‘1’ bit of the input is now the msb of the barrel-shifter output ...

CONFUSED by logarithms? If so, you’ll be surprised to hear they come naturally to pigeons and possibly, subconsciously, to you. There are asymmetries in the way animals perceive numbers and time ...

I HAVE recently been considering how best the theory of logarithms could be presented to a beginner without such a paralysing opening as used to be the practice (see Todhunter). I do not know what ...

ln (Y)=B0 + B1*ln (X) + u ~ A 1% change in X is associated with a B1% change in Y, so B1 is the elasticity of Y with respect to X.

THE first portion of this book treats of the way to use logarithms so as to apply no more figures than necessary; the author pointing out that probably one half of the time expended in ...
