The MacMillan Logarithmic and Trigonometric Tables
The negative of the logarithm of a number (when written in convenient form for
computation) is called the cologarithm of the number. We may find the negative of
any number by subtracting it from zero, and it is convenient in logarithmic ...

Dividing one number by another may be accomplished logarithmically by
addition rather than subtraction, if the cologarithm is employed. The cologarithm
of a number is the logarithm of the reciprocal of the number. The reason that the ...

The characteristic is 9 — 10 ; hence, the required antilogarithm is 0.1242. 462.
Cologarithms. The logarithm of the reciprocal of a given number is called the
cologarithm of the number. Thus, cologarithm N = log — N = log 1 — log N = 0 -

The cologarithm of n, denoted colog n, is defined as - log n, or equivalently log £ .
The cologarithm was used "together with" the logarithm of a number to help carry
out computations involving division in the days before hand-held calculators ...
George Wentworth, David Eugene Smith. 332. Cologarithm. The logarithm of the
reciprocal of a number is called the cologarithm of the number. The cologarithm
of x is expressed thus : cologX. Since colog x — log- = log 1 — logx = 0 — log a;,

We replace det(-) with its cologarithm ldet(-); when IIuII <1andu = u*: ldet(I — u) =
tr(u) + tr(u2)/2 + tr(u3)/3 + . (21.2) In general, if II u II < 1, then ldet(I — u) is not real
, thus fails to be the cologarithm of det(I — u). However, if IIuII, IIvII < 1 and u, ...

This possibility is secured by using the cologarithm, instead of the logarithm, of all
divisors. The cologarithm, or complementary logarithm, of a number n is defined
to be (10 — log n) — 10. The part (10 — log n) can be taken from the table just ...
Others will try to define pH as the cologarithm of the activity of hydrogen ions,
which, taken literally, means (92) However, this formula defines a quantity that
cannot be measured (see Section I.C). Indeed, there seems to be no definition of
pH ...
