--------------------------------------------------------------
The sine function has the term "cardinal" associated with it when we actually
perform
{code:none}
cardinal sine (x) = sinc(x) = sin(x)/x
{code}
however, I don't seem to see any clearly defined analog, in a quick glance at
the literature , for the log function. Do you have any thoughts on what the
name should be? Clearly first intuition would be
{code:none}
log1pc(x),
{code}
but that only follows from the
{code:none}
sinc(x)
{code}
naming convention and isn't necessarily rooted in the literature.
