THE publication of these tables helps to mark a change in the use of logarithms, both for teaching and practical purposes. Nowadays most teachers use four-figure tables for teaching purposes, even in ...

A logarithm is the power which a certain number is raised to get another number. Before calculators and various types of complex computers were invented it was difficult for scientists and ...

\({\log _a}a = 1\) (since \({a^1} = a\)) so \({\log _7}7 = 1\) \({\log _a}1 = 0\) (since \({a^0} = 1\)) so \({\log _{20}}1 = 0\) \({\log _a}p + {\log _a}q = {\log _a ...

ε ~ N(0, 0.5 2) to the response. Holsclaw, T., Sanso, B., Lee, H. K., Heitmann, K., Habib, S., Higdon, D., & Alam, U. (2013). Gaussian process modeling of derivative ...

A law of the iterated logarithm is derived for the empirical distribution functions of a sequence of independent identically distributed random variables. Convergence is in the uniform topology on the ...

You may find this hard to believe, but there are people still alive today who once did their mathematical calculations by sliding sticks back and forth. No keypads, no batteries, no LEDs. Just sticks.
