Whats a logarithmic curve and how does it help explain the spread of . . . A logarithmic graph can also help make it clear if the apparent evening-out of the curve started to change While a linear curve would keep on pushing ever higher regardless, the logarithmic graph would highlight any substantial changes to the trend – whether upward or downward

Cognitive scientist Steven Pinker uses data and psychology to provide a fresh perspective on progress: why it is so hard to achieve and what ideas were responsible for progress in the past and will be needed for progress to continue?
Cybersecurity must begin with hardware. Heres why The staggering growth of microprocessor complexity since 1970 (note the logarithmic y-axis) Image: Karl Rupp et al Reducing feature size has been so successful that the semiconductor industry is now facing a barrier in the underlying physics; further attempts at decreasing size will increasingly result in unwanted quantum mechanical effects
Travel Tourism Development Index 2024 | World Economic Forum This is sorted into High-Sufficiency cities and Sufficiency cities For the purpose of calculating this indicator, each country’s score is the sum of points of all of the ranked cities based in the economy, with points determined by city classification A logarithmic transformation is applied to final point values
