@maxleibman also i quite like #logarithm actually much better than #algorithm 📠

O, Logarithm! Thoust provideth a function most dear to All. WIthout thee, our linear minds would be overwhelmed by the mighty Exponential, which Nature herself has used as her Firmament.

Let thy name ring out over the Land, O Logarithm!

:-P

#statstab #476 In linear regression, when is it appropriate to use the log of an independent variable instead of the actual values?

In linear regression, when is it appropriate to use the log of an independent variable instead of the actual values?

Am I looking for a better behaved distribution for the independent variable in question, or to reduce the effect of outliers, or something else?

Euler–Mascheroni constant!  

In fact, the last one is:
\[\large\displaystyle\int_1^{+\infty}\mathrm dx\ \left(\frac{1}{\lfloor x\rfloor}-\frac1x\right)=\gamma\approx0.5772156649\]

Equivalently,
\[\large\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}\left(\sum_{k=1}^n \frac1{k}-\ln n\right)=\gamma=0.5772156649\ldots\]

My wife was working through finding the derivative of the #exponential #function #exp(x) from first principles.I was made aware that she hadn’t actually seen why the number e=2.7128… was the #base the of the function and that that’s what you need to start with. In fact, that means one must actually start by finding the first differential of a general #logarithm and find #e from there. Once you’ve find the #Derivative of #lln, the #derivative of the #ExponentialFunction is straightforward. (1/2)

Manually Computing Logarithms To Grok Calculators

Logarithms are everywhere in mathematics and derived fields, but we rarely think about how trigonometric functions, exponentials, square roots and others are calculated after we punch the numbers i…
