Estimating Log Base 10

Karl's Calculus Tutor: Log base 10 tricks (to the 40th degree)

EXAMPLE

a(6)=40 because the square root of the mean of (12-40*log(2))^2, (19-40*log(3))^2, (24-40*log(4))^2, (28-40*log(5))^2, (31-40*log(6))^2, (34-40*log(7))^2, (36-40*log(8))^2 and (38-40*log(9))^2 is smaller than the RMS values obtained using any denominator smaller than 40.
