  2. Complex logarithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_logarithm

    The real part of log (z) is the natural logarithm of |z|. Its graph is thus obtained by rotating the graph of ln (x) around the z -axis. In mathematics, a complex logarithm is a generalization of the natural logarithm to nonzero complex numbers. The term refers to one of the following, which are strongly related: A complex logarithm of a ...

  3. Logarithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithm

    Polar form of z = x + iy. Both φ and φ' are arguments of z. All the complex numbers a that solve the equation = are called complex logarithms of z, when z is (considered as) a complex number. A complex number is commonly represented as z = x + iy, where x and y are real numbers and i is an imaginary unit, the square of which is −1.

  4. Natural logarithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_logarithm

    The natural logarithm of e itself, ln e, is 1, because e1 = e, while the natural logarithm of 1 is 0, since e0 = 1. The natural logarithm can be defined for any positive real number a as the area under the curve y = 1/x from 1 to a[4] (with the area being negative when 0 < a < 1). The simplicity of this definition, which is matched in many ...

    ln (r) is the standard natural logarithm of the real number r. Arg (z) is the principal value of the arg function; its value is restricted to (−π, π]. It can be computed using Arg (x + iy) = atan2 (y, x). Log (z) is the principal value of the complex logarithm function and has imaginary part in the range (−π, π].

  6. Lambert W function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambert_W_function

    The Lambert W function is used to solve equations in which the unknown quantity occurs both in the base and in the exponent, or both inside and outside of a logarithm. The strategy is to convert such an equation into one of the form zez = w and then to solve for z using the W function. For example, the equation.

  7. Logarithmic derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_derivative

    t. e. In mathematics, specifically in calculus and complex analysis, the logarithmic derivative of a function f is defined by the formula where is the derivative of f. [1] Intuitively, this is the infinitesimal relative change in f; that is, the infinitesimal absolute change in f, namely scaled by the current value of f.

  8. Euler's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_formula

    v. t. e. Euler's formula, named after Leonhard Euler, is a mathematical formula in complex analysis that establishes the fundamental relationship between the trigonometric functions and the complex exponential function. Euler's formula states that, for any real number x, one has where e is the base of the natural logarithm, i is the imaginary ...

  9. Prime number theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_number_theorem

    All instances of log (x) without a subscript base should be interpreted as a natural logarithm, also commonly written as ln (x) or loge(x). In mathematics, the prime number theorem (PNT) describes the asymptotic distribution of the prime numbers among the positive integers. It formalizes the intuitive idea that primes become less common as they ...
