Comment (by mabshoff):
Why this ticket? We already have
{{{
sage: log_b?
Type: function
Base Class: <type 'function'>
String Form: <function log at 0x29b33f0>
Namespace: Interactive
File:
/Users/michaelabshoff/Desktop/sage-3.1.3.rc0/local/lib/python2.5/site-
packages/sage/misc/functional.py
Definition: log_b(x, b=None)
Docstring:
Return the log of x to the base b. The default base is e.
INPUT:
x -- number
b -- base (default: None, which means natural log)
OUTPUT:
number
NOTE: In Magma, the order of arguments is reversed from in
SAGE, i.e., the base is given first. We use the opposite
ordering, so the base can be viewed as an optional second
argument.
}}}
One could obviously implement log10, but why pollute the global namespace
even more?
Cheers,
Michael
