Tables of Binary Logarithms,Uncertainty Functions,and Binary Log Functions

Abstract

Three sets of 4-place tables are presented, one set on each of two facing pages: binary logarithms (log₂ n) of 3-digit numbers, uncertainty functions (– p log₂ p) and binary log functions (log₂ 1/p) for values of p from .001 to .999.
