Logarithm \Log"a*rithm\ (l[ocr]g"[adot]*r[icr][th]'m), n. [Gr. lo`gos word, account, proportion + 'ariqmo`s number: cf. F. logarithme.] (Math.) One of a class of auxiliary numbers, devised by John Napier, of Merchiston, Scotland (1550-1617), to abridge arithmetical calculations, by the use of addition and subtraction in place of multiplication and division. Note: The relation of logarithms to common numbers is that of numbers in an arithmetical series to corresponding numbers in a geometrical series, so that sums and differences of the former indicate respectively products and quotients of the latter; thus, 0 1 2 3 4 Indices or logarithms 1 10 100 1000 10,000 Numbers in geometrical progression Hence, the logarithm of any given number is the exponent of a power to which another given invariable number, called the base, must be raised in order to produce that given number. Thus, let 10 be the base, then 2 is the logarithm of 100, because 10^{2} = 100, and 3 is the logarithm of 1,000, because 10^{3} = 1,000. {Arithmetical complement of a logarithm}, the difference between a logarithm and the number ten. {Binary logarithms}. See under {Binary}. {Common logarithms}, or {Brigg's logarithms}, logarithms of which the base is 10; -- so called from Henry Briggs, who invented them. {Gauss's logarithms}, tables of logarithms constructed for facilitating the operation of finding the logarithm of the sum of difference of two quantities from the logarithms of the quantities, one entry of those tables and two additions or subtractions answering the purpose of three entries of the common tables and one addition or subtraction. They were suggested by the celebrated German mathematician Karl Friedrich Gauss (died in 1855), and are of great service in many astronomical computations. {Hyperbolic, [or] Napierian}, {logarithms} | |

Arithmetic and Logic Unit processing unit} which performs operations such as addition, subtraction and multiplication of integers and {bit-wise} {AND}, {OR}, {NOT}, {XOR} and other {Boolean} operations. The CPU's instruction decode logic determines which particular operation the ALU should perform, the source of the {operands} and the destination of the result. The width in {bit}s of the words which the ALU handles is usually the same as that quoted for the processor as a whole whereas its external busses may be narrower. {Floating-point} operations are usually done by a separate "{floating-point unit}". Some processors use the ALU for address calculations (e.g. incrementing the {program counter}), others have separate logic for this. (1995-03-24) | |
