Add minor clarification about logs with bases other than e #12113
Description
See this ask.sagemath.org question. Essentially, the poster requests (and it seems reasonable) to add a couple more examples of this. E.g.,
If you could make this change it would be great: "EXAMPLES:
sage: log(e^2)" :
To something like:
EXAMPLES:
To change the base of the logarithm, add a second parameter.
sage: log(1000,10)
3
Small change but helpful!
This is implicit in the examples, but since the first line is just
Return the logarithm of x to the given base.
and not everyone will understand
File: /Users/.../sage-4.7.2/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/sage/functions/log.py
Definition: log(x, base=None)
Docstring:
Return the logarithm of x to the given base.
Sounds like a good beginner ticket.
