Natural log Calculation

[krtxmrtz]

Thanks guys , 1000 decimal places is too much of a challenge then, well i'll try for something more realistic like 200. Ill sit down with a piece(lots of) paper and work through some of this stuff.

Also, would you have any idea how to work out something like this via an algorithm?

4.6^5.83

200? Well, handheld calculators give you just 9 or 10 decimal places, that should be enough for mostly everything... or are you trying to send your own rocket to the Moon or something?
Also in computers floating point values give you just a few digits of accuracy, usually less than 20.

4.6^5.83 = 10^{5.83 log(4.6)}
