log (A x B) =
log (A) + log (B)
log (A/B) =
log (A) - log (B)
log (1/A) =
–log(A)
Euler’s number (e) estimate
2.7
convert between natural logs (base e) and common logs (base 10)
log x ~ lnx / 2.3
approximate log (n x 10^m)
~ m + 0.n
example: log (9.2 x 10^8) ~ 8 + 0.92 = 8.92
pi circle values
(cos, sin)
sin θ =
opposite / hypotenuse
cos θ =
adjacent / hypotenuse
tan θ =
opposite / adjacent
direct vs inverse relationships
direct: increasing one variable causes a proportional increase the other
inverse: increasing one variable causes a proportional decrease in the other
