Log tables, invaluable in science, industry and commerce for 350 years, have been consigned to the scrap heap. But logarithms remain at the core of science, as a wide range of physical phenomena ...

This graph shows several examples of data sets from the Spaniard National Institute of Statistics that follow Benford’s logarithmic law. Data from the lottery, however, is random and uniform. Credit: ...

In 1938, the physicist Frank Benford made an extraordinary discovery about numbers. He found that in many lists of numbers drawn from real data, the leading digit is far more likely to be a 1 than a 9 ...

Now that you know what \({\log _a}x\) means, you should know and be able to use the following results, known as the laws of logarithms.

The cortical mechanisms underlying echoic memory and change detection were investigated using an auditory change-related component (N100c) of event-related brain potentials. N100c was elicited by ...
