``Re: Logarithms: Something more is needed'' by pahio on 2008-06-13 12:45:27
There is already an entry for logarithmic calculation
http://planetmath.org/encyclopedia/BriggsianLogarithms.html
There one does not calculate a product of numbers but a third root, i.e. a power with exponent 1/3. I also illustrate how the place of decimal point in the numerus affects on the integer part ("characteristica") of the logarithm of the numerus.
