  • The exponent required to produce a given number
  • (logarithmic) of or relating to or using logarithms; "logarithmic function"
  • In mathematics, the logarithm of a number to a given base is the power or exponent to which the base must be raised in order to produce that number. ...
  • (Logarithmic) A term used to describe one type of sweep generator operation, in which the time period of each "decade" of frequency change (i.e. 20Hz to 200Hz, 200Hz to 2kHz, etc.) is equal. ...
  • (Logarithmic) These have rectangles drawn in varying widths corresponding to an logarithmic scales for semilog graphs or log-log graphs
  • (Logarithmic) scales to introduce you to the concept of logarithmic scales, and in particular to the decibel scales commonly used in acoustics to measure loudness
  • (logarithmic) Applied to measures that increase by 1 whenever the factor they depend on is multiplied by a certain number. For example, if a value increased from 10 to 100 to 1000, then a logarithmic measure of that value could increase, say, from 1 to 2 to 3.
  • (Logarithms (Logs)) The following log relationships are most commonly used to convert magnitude to decibels (See Decibel dB): log (AB) = log A + log B, log (A/B) = log A - log B, log (A^n) = n log A.
  • (Logarithms) Proportional parts of a quadrant, expressed in numbers, whereby calculations of the planets' places at a given hour, or the Arc of Direction for a given date, can be made by simple addition and subtraction rather than by multiplication or division. ...
