AI Thread Summary
The number of digits in \(2^{1000}\) can be calculated using the formula for the number of digits in a number, which is given by \( \lfloor \log_{10}(n) \rfloor + 1 \). With \( \log_{10}(2) \approx 0.301\), the calculation shows that \(2^{1000}\) contains 302 digits. Participants in the discussion confirmed this result and expressed satisfaction with the solution. The mathematical approach was appreciated for its clarity and efficiency. Overall, the challenge was successfully resolved with a straightforward calculation.

Thought this challenge was worth asking here :D

Using mathematics, how many digits does the number $$2^{1000} $$contain?

Because is $\log 2 \sim .301$, then $2^{1000}$ has 302 digits... Kind regards$\chi$ $\sigma$
 
Nice! I thought it would take a little longer to figure that out! Correct answer!:D
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
