Iterated Logarithm. Just don’t get it.
In: Mathematics
A logarithm has a base (usually 10 or e).
Log of something is the power you’d have to raise the base to get that number. My post will be about log base 10 for simplicity.
10^4 =10000
Log(10000) = 4
Great, now what is the iterative logarithm? Basically you keep taking the log until you get an answer that’s less than or equal to one, the number of times you do this is the iterative logarithm.
1. Log(10^100) = 100
2. Log(100) = 10
3. Log(10) = 1
Iterative log = 3
Another example:
1. Log(1234567890) = 9.091514977
2. Log(9.091514977) = 0.958636258
Iterative log = 2
