1Logarithmic differentiation — Logarithmic derivative is a separate article. Topics in Calculus Fundamental theorem Limits of functions Continuity Mean value theorem Differential calculus  Derivative Change of variables Implicit differentiation …
2Logarithmic derivative — In mathematics, specifically in calculus and complex analysis, the logarithmic derivative of a function f is defined by the formula where f ′ is the derivative of f. When f is a function f(x) of a real variable x, and takes real, strictly… …
3Logarithmic scale — A logarithmic scale is a scale of measurement that uses the logarithm of a physical quantity instead of the quantity itself. Presentation of data on a logarithmic scale can be helpful when the data covers a large range of values ndash; the… …
4slide rule — a device for performing mathematical calculations, consisting essentially of a ruler having a sliding piece moving along it, both marked with graduated, usually logarithmic, scales: now largely replaced by the electronic calculator. [1655 65 for… …
5Slide rule — For other uses, see Slide rule (disambiguation). A typical ten inch student slide rule (Pickett N902 T simplex trig). The slide rule, also known colloquially as a slipstick,[1] is a mechanical analog computer. The slide rule is used primarily for …

7List of logarithmic identities — In mathematics, there are several logarithmic identities. Contents 1 Algebraic identities or laws 1.1 Trivial identities 1.2 Canceling exponentials 1.3 …
8Chain rule for Kolmogorov complexity — The chain rule for Kolmogorov complexity is an analogue of the chain rule for information entropy, which states: H(X,Y) = H(X) + H(Y | X) That is, the combined randomness of two sequences X and Y is the sum of the randomness of X plus whatever… …
9Coggeshall slide rule — In measurement, the Coggeshall slide rule, also called a carpenter s slide rule, was a slide rule designed by Henry Coggeshall in 1677 to facilitate measuring the dimensions, superficies, and solidity of timber. With his original design and later …
10Slide rule — n. a thin, flat calculating device consisting of a fixed outer piece and a movable middle piece. Both pieces are graduated in such a way (as, by a logarithmic scale) that multiplication, division, and other mathematical functions of an input var …
