What does COLOG mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A shortened name for cologarithm, the logarithm of the reciprocal of a number.
A colog is calculated by taking the ordinary logarithm of a number and reversing its sign, since the logarithm of a reciprocal is the negative of the logarithm of the original number. Before electronic calculators became common, students used tables of cologs to simplify long division within logarithmic calculations, turning division into subtraction. The term is rarely taught today, since calculators and computers have replaced manual logarithm tables.
