  1. How to evaluate the complex logarithms $\log (i)$ and $\log …

    Sep 11, 2020 · How to evaluate $$\log (i)?$$ Also, how to evaluate $$\log (3+4i)?$$ I am reading complex analysis and I know that logarithm is a multibranched function and is periodic.

  2. Log of a negative number - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Jan 9, 2017 · This is called the principal complex logarithm and is usually denoted by $\operatorname {Log}$ (capital L). Technically, it doesn't matter to what range you restrict …

  3. Why does $a^ {\log_a (x)}=x$? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Dec 4, 2020 · Hence, $$ \log_a (a^x) = x \text { and } a^ {\log_a {x}}=x $$ are both true by definition. The hardest part is trying to explain why these two conceptions of logarithms, while …

  4. How to figure out the log of a number without a calculator?

    Apr 23, 2017 · I have seen people look at log (several digit number) and rattle off the first couple of digits. I can get the value for small values (aka the popular or easy to know roots), but is …

  5. Why there is no formula $\\log(a) *\\log(b) = $(something)?

    Yes one can deduce that $\log a \log b$ is also $\log (b^ {\log a})$. These equations are not mentioned much, perhaps because they can easily be deduced from the other laws (and it …

  6. calculus - Compare $\log_5 (\log_4 3)$ and $\log_6 (\log_6 3 ...

    Dec 3, 2025 · Here $y=\log_6 3\in (0,1)$, so for $1<5<6$ we have $\log_5 y<\log_6 y$. Hence $\log_5 (\log_6 3)<\log_6 (\log_6 3)$, so the second inequality in your chain is reversed.

  7. The proof of $\log (1+x) < x.$ - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Jan 13, 2021 · If you accept (otherwise this can easily be proved) that $\log ()$ is a concave function, then it suffices to show (cf. Jensen) that $x$ is a tangent to $\log (1+x)$.

  8. The difference between log and ln - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Dec 5, 2023 · Since the default base of log can vary between and even within fields, seems a good rule of thumb is to treat ln as loge (of course), and log as unknown (re: base …

  9. When log is written without a base, is the equation normally …

    In mathematics, $\log n$ is most often taken to be the natural logarithm. The notation $\ln (x)$ not seen frequently past multivariable calculus, since the logarithm base $10$ finds relatively little …
