  2. Natural logarithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_logarithm

    The natural logarithm of e itself, ln e, is 1, because e1 = e, while the natural logarithm of 1 is 0, since e0 = 1. The natural logarithm can be defined for any positive real number a as the area under the curve y = 1/x from 1 to a[4] (with the area being negative when 0 < a < 1). The simplicity of this definition, which is matched in many ...

  3. Logarithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithm

    In mathematics, the logarithm to baseb is the inverse function of exponentiation with base b. That means that the logarithm of a number x to the base b is the exponent to which b must be raised to produce x. For example, since 1000 = 103, the logarithm base of 1000 is 3, or log10(1000) = 3.

  4. List of logarithmic identities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_logarithmic_identities

    ln (r) is the standard natural logarithm of the real number r. Arg (z) is the principal value of the arg function; its value is restricted to (−π, π]. It can be computed using Arg (x + iy) = atan2 (y, x). Log (z) is the principal value of the complex logarithm function and has imaginary part in the range (−π, π].

  5. Logarithmic derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_derivative

    t. e. In mathematics, specifically in calculus and complex analysis, the logarithmic derivative of a function f is defined by the formula where is the derivative of f. [1] Intuitively, this is the infinitesimal relative change in f; that is, the infinitesimal absolute change in f, namely scaled by the current value of f.

  6. Log-normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log-normal_distribution

    Then, the distribution of the random variable. is called the log-normal distribution with parameters and . These are the expected value (or mean) and standard deviation of the variable's natural logarithm, not the expectation and standard deviation of itself. Relation between normal and log-normal distribution.

  7. Prime number theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_number_theorem

    All instances of log (x) without a subscript base should be interpreted as a natural logarithm, also commonly written as ln (x) or loge(x). In mathematics, the prime number theorem (PNT) describes the asymptotic distribution of the prime numbers among the positive integers. It formalizes the intuitive idea that primes become less common as they ...

  8. Natural logarithm of 2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_logarithm_of_2

    The decimal value of the natural logarithm of 2 (sequence A002162 in the OEIS) is approximately. The logarithm of 2 in other bases is obtained with the formula. The common logarithm in particular is (OEIS: A007524) The inverse of this number is the binary logarithm of 10: (OEIS: A020862). By the Lindemann–Weierstrass theorem, the natural ...

  9. Log probability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log_probability

    Log probability. In probability theory and computer science, a log probability is simply a logarithm of a probability. [1] The use of log probabilities means representing probabilities on a logarithmic scale , instead of the standard unit interval. Since the probabilities of independent events multiply, and logarithms convert multiplication to ...
