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}

Commonwealth Hackish n.   Hacker jargon as spoken in English    outside the U.S., esp. in the British Commonwealth.   It is reported    that Commonwealth speakers are more likely to pronounce truncations    like `char' and `soc', etc., as spelled (/char/, /sok/), as opposed    to American /keir/ and /sohsh/.   Dots in {newsgroup} names    (especially two-component names) tend to be pronounced more often    (so soc.wibble is /sok dot wib'l/ rather than /sohsh wib'l/).   The    prefix {meta} may be pronounced /mee't*/; similarly, Greek letter    beta is usually /bee't*/, zeta is usually /zee't*/, and so forth.    Preferred {metasyntactic variable}s include {blurgle}, `eek',    `ook', `frodo', and `bilbo'; {wibble}, `wobble', and in emergencies    `wubble'; `flob', `banana', `tom', `dick', `harry',      `wombat',    `frog', {fish}, {womble} and so on and on (see {foo}, sense 4).          Alternatives to verb doubling include suffixes `-o-rama',    `frenzy' (as in feeding frenzy), and `city' (examples: "barf city!"    "hack-o-rama!"   "core dump frenzy!").   Finally, note that the    American terms `parens', `brackets', and `braces' for (), [], and {}    are uncommon; Commonwealth hackish prefers `brackets', `square    brackets', and `curly brackets'.   Also, the use of `pling' for    {bang} is common outside the United States.          See also {attoparsec}, {calculator}, {chemist}, {console jockey},    {fish}, {go-faster stripes}, {grunge}, {hakspek}, {heavy metal},    {leaky heap}, {lord high fixer}, {loose bytes}, {muddie}, {nadger},    {noddy}, {psychedelicware}, {plingnet}, {raster blaster}, {RTBM},    {seggie}, {spod}, {sun lounge}, {terminal junkie}, {tick-list    features}, {weeble}, {weasel}, {YABA}, and notes or definitions    under {Bad Thing}, {barf}, {bogus}, {bum}, {chase pointers},    {cosmic rays}, {crippleware}, {crunch}, {dodgy}, {gonk}, {hamster},    {hardwarily}, {mess-dos}, {nybble}, {proglet}, {root}, {SEX},    {tweak}, {womble}, and {xyzzy}.

Commonwealth Hackish          Hacker jargon as spoken outside the US, especially in the       British Commonwealth.   It is reported that Commonwealth       speakers are more likely to pronounce truncations like "char"       and "soc", etc., as spelled (/char/, /sok/), as opposed to       American /keir/ and /sohsh/.   Dots in {newsgroup} names       (especially two-component names) tend to be pronounced more       often (so soc.wibble is /sok dot wib'l/ rather than /sohsh       wib'l/).   The prefix {meta} may be pronounced /mee't*/;       similarly, Greek letter beta is usually /bee't*/, zeta is       usually /zee't*/, and so forth.   Preferred {metasyntactic       variables} include {blurgle}, "eek", "ook", "frodo", and       "bilbo"; "wibble", "wobble", and in emergencies "wubble";       "banana", "tom", "dick", "harry", "wombat", "frog", {fish},       and so on and on (see {foo}).          Alternatives to verb doubling include suffixes "-o-rama",       "frenzy" (as in feeding frenzy), and "city" (examples: "barf       city!"   "hack-o-rama!"   "core dump frenzy!").   Finally, note       that the American terms "parens", "brackets", and "braces" for       (), [], and {} are uncommon; Commonwealth hackish prefers       "brackets", "square brackets", and "curly brackets".   Also,       the use of "pling" for {bang} is common outside the United       States.          See also {attoparsec}, {calculator}, {chemist}, {console       jockey}, {fish}, {go-faster stripes}, {grunge}, {hakspek},       {heavy metal}, {leaky heap}, {lord high fixer}, {loose bytes},       {muddie}, {nadger}, {noddy}, {psychedelicware}, {plingnet},       {raster blaster}, {RTBM}, {seggie}, {spod}, {sun lounge},       {terminal junkie}, {tick-list features}, {weeble}, {weasel},       {YABA}, and notes or definitions under {Bad Thing}, {barf},       {bum}, {chase pointers}, {cosmic rays}, {crippleware},       {crunch}, {dodgy}, {gonk}, {hamster}, {hardwarily},       {mess-dos}, {nibble}, {proglet}, {root}, {SEX}, {tweak}, and       {xyzzy}.          [{Jargon File}]          (1995-01-18)
