A logarithm is a mathematical operation that determines how many times a certain number, called the base, is multiplied by itself to reach another number. Because logarithms relate geometric ...

Let $\{X_i\}$ be a sequence of independent, identically distributed nondegenerate random variables and $S_n = \sum^n_{i = 1}X_i$. We consider the question for various ...

Logarithms and square root are non-elementary operations frequently used in digital signal processing. In this work, implementation and design of an IP-Core to compute square root and multibase ...

[Ihsan Kehribar] points out a clever trick you can use to quickly and efficiently compute the logarithm of a 32-bit integer. The technique relies on the CLZ instruction which counts the number of ...

Self-normalized processes arise naturally in statistical applications. Being unit free, they are not affected by scale changes. Moreover, self-normalization often eliminates or weakens moment ...

I recently found a pretty neat mathematical book entitled How not to be wrong: The power of mathematical thinking by Jordan Ellenberg. The author outlines real-life applications that show how ...

There was a time not so long ago when calculators weren’t standard equipment for computations. The log() button did not exist, and some math had to be done by hand. John Napier and his logarithm ...
