Data from an experiment may result in a graph indicating exponential growth. This implies the formula of this growth is \(y = k{x^n}\), where \(k\) and \(n\) are constants. Using logarithms, we can ...

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 ...

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 ...

The coronavirus outbreak offered the public a crash course in statistics, with terms like doubling time, logarithmic scales, R factor, rolling averages, and excess mortality now on everyone's tongue.

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 ...

Matthew Yglesias waxes rhapsodic about being on the "back half of the chessboard" in terms of the exponential growth of computer technologies. The point of this, in terms of technological progress, is ...

Ask ordinary software developers how to code an exponential function (that is, e x) and most will tell you to simply write an expression in their favorite high level language. But a significant slice ...
