What is Napierian logarithm called?
Napierian logarithm. The term Napierian logarithm or Naperian logarithm, named after John Napier, is often used to mean the natural logarithm. Napier did not introduce this natural logarithmic function, although it is named after him.
What is the derivative of the natural logarithm?
Derivative and antiderivative. The derivative of ln x is 1/ x; this implies that ln x is the unique antiderivative of 1/x that has the value 0 for x =1. It is this very simple formula that motivated to qualify as „natural“ the natural logarithm; this is also one of the main reasons of the importance of the constant e .
What is the characteristic and mantissa of a logarithm?
The common logarithm of x can be separated into an integer part and a fractional part, known as the characteristic and mantissa. Tables of logarithms need only include the mantissa, as the characteristic can be easily determined by counting digits from the decimal point.
How can logarithms be used to describe intervals?
Therefore, logarithms can be used to describe the intervals: an interval is measured in semitones by taking the base-21/12 logarithm of the frequency ratio, while the base-21/1200 logarithm of the frequency ratio expresses the interval in cents, hundredths of a semitone. The latter is used for finer encoding,…
