| >> >No, the original is correct. lg means log base 2. >> >> Isn't that lb? JS> Quoting wikipedia: JS> "In computer science, the base 2 logarithm is sometimes written as JS> lg(x) to avoid confusion. This usage was suggested by Edward Reingold JS> and popularized by Donald Knuth." There is no out-of-context-unambiguous short notation for log10 and log2 (from the very Wikipedia article). Best, IMHO, is to make notation notes inside article or use full notation i.e. log<sub>2/10</sub> or just log2/10. For example, I've always thinking that "lg" means "log<sub>10</sub>" (as was taught on high school). |
