    Re: Natural log Calculation

    What is it you exactly want to do? Be accurate to the 200th decimal place? Or work with large numbers beyond the range of 1099?

    Well initially I had thoughts of working with numbers accurate to 200 d.p but it seems that is pointless and not needed. So working with numbers beyond 1099 would be my current aim. so 20/30 decimal places of accuracy with and exponent of upto 101000.

    If you're going to work with integers only, then it shouldn't be too difficult, but I never went into something like this.

    Good luck anyway.

    It's including decimals . Thank-you both for all the advice, if I manage to get it sorted I'll send you a link.
