`stage and a heavy-duty triode, pentode. or beam(cid:173)
`power tube in the output stage.
`log 1. Abbreviation of LOGARITHM. 2. A continuous
`record of communications kept by a station. or a
`record of the operation of an equipment.
`log 10 Abbreviation of logarithm to the base 10
`(common logarithm). Also called BRIGGSIAN
`LOGARITHM.
`logarithm Abbreviation, Jog. The power to which a
`number, called the base (see BASE, 3), must be
`raised to equal a given number. Thus, if the given
`number is designated nand the base a, then logan
`equals x. because a• equals n (example: Jog10 100 =
`2, since the base 10 must be raised to the second
`power to equal 100). The two bases used most of(cid:173)
`ten are 10 (common logarithms) and 2.7 18 28; the
`base In natural, or Napierian, logarithms. Also see
`ANTILOGARITHM, COLOGARITHM, COMMON LOG(cid:173)
`ARITHM,NATURAL LOGARITHM. NAP!ERIAN LOGA(cid:173)
`RITHM .
`logarithmic amplifier An amplifier whose output(cid:173)
`signal amplitude is proportional to the logarithm
`of the input-signal amplitude.
`logarithmic curve A graphical representation of a
`logarithmic function, having the form y = a log x.
`The logarithmic base may be any positive real
`number.
`logarithmic decrement See DECREMENT.
`logarithmic graph A graph in which the x and y
`axes are incremented logarithmically. Compare
`SEMILOGARJTHMJC GRAPH.
`logarithmic hom A hom whose diameter varies
`directly as the logarithm of the length. See HORN.
`logarithmic mean See GEOMETRIC MEAN.
`logarithmic meter A current meter or voltmeter
`whose deflection is proportional to the logarithm
`of the quantity under measurement. The Incre(cid:173)
`ments on the scale of such an Instrument are
`closer together In the upper portion.
`logarithmic rate of decay See EXPONENTIAL
`DECREASE.
`logarithmic rate of growth See EXPONENTIAl(cid:173)
`INCREASE.
`logarithmic response 1. Response in which the .
`value of a dependent variable is at every point
`equal to the logarithm of the independent variable:
`y equals log x. 2 . A type of response In which a
`quantity (such as current) varies directly with the
`logarithm of another quantity (such as voltage).
`logarithmic scale A graduated scale in which the
`coordinates are positioned according to the loga(cid:173)
`tithm of the actual distance from the origin.
`logadthmic s edes A mathematical series which is
`the expansion of the expression lo!!e (1 + x) in as(cid:173)
`cending powers of x. Thus, Io!!e ( 1 + x) = x- x • /2
`+ x•;s - x•/4 + ... x•;n.

`LOGARITHM.

`matics dealing \vlth the truth or falsity of indi(cid:173)
`cated relationships and their combinations. Also
`see SYMBOLIC LOGIC. 2 . Collectively, the switch(cid:173)

`AND. NAND, NOR. OR, etc.
`logical decision During a computer program run,
`a choice between alternatives based on specified
`conditions. For example, one alternative path in a
`routine might be selected because an intermedi·
`ate result was negative.
`logical diagram A schematic diagram showing the
`Interconnection between gates of a logic circuit.
`logical equivalence The condition In which two
`logJ.cal statements have identical truth value for
`all possible combinations of truth value of their
`constiluents.
`logical file A data set comprising one or several
`logJ.cal records.
`logical implication For logical statements x and y,
`the conditton thal y is true whenever x is true: If
`x, then y .
`logical operation 1. AI1 operation using logical op(cid:173)
`erators: AND. NOR. OR. NAND. 2. A processing
`operation in which arithmetic is not involved
`(e.g .. a shift).
`logical operator A word or symbol representing a
`logJ.c function operating on one or more operands.
`logical shift A shift operation In which digits In a
`word are moved left or right in circular fashion;
`digits displaced at one end of the word are
