Well, thanks a lot! I posted the same question in norwegian at a Norwegian site, Realisten.com, and got two replies before this garbagee could produce ONE! Hehe... Anyways, I'm here to update about what I know now. The speed of particles are always given by...

Are the RMS-speed of gas particles related to degrees of freedom? I give up! I must consult help no matter how embarrassing it is! Any help is greeted with a big smile! :smile: Does the formula for root mean square speed of particles in a gas (below) apply for all particles...

Thanks! It seems as if I have a lot to work with... At least it's something... ;)

So it's possible to use either a Taylor Series or "Newton-Raphson"-method(??). There EXISTS a formula that makes it possible, but impractical? Does it EXIST? Any LINKS or EXPLENATIONS? :blushing:

But this doesn't really help me do logs without a calculator does it? ... :confused:

Denyven, is that even real!? Astrowesome! :D

Is it possible to make a formula for logarithms of any base? logb(a)=x I want to find x through some formula. I've seen that you can use a series for e as the base, is that the only base that can be solved for? Is there any work being done to accomplish this, or, maybe it has been...

If you have money, buy a whiteboard that you can stick on your wall. That way you have the opportunity to stand and walk while doing maths, physics or whatever! I do this and think heavily whilst walking in circles - this makes me feel like I'm doing things like Einstein did! It's fun, try it...
