Rob Tompkins edited comment on MATH-1358 at 4/25/16 11:35 AM: -------------------------------------------------------------- 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. was (Author: chtompki): 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.
