Arithmetical complement of a logarithm
(gcide) | Logarithm \Log"a*rithm\ (l[o^]g"[.a]*r[i^][th]'m), n. [Gr.
lo`gos word, account, proportion + 'ariqmo`s number: cf. F.
logarithme.] (Math.)
One of a class of auxiliary numbers, devised by John Napier,
of Merchiston, Scotland (1550-1617), to abridge arithmetical
calculations, by the use of addition and subtraction in place
of multiplication and division.
Note: The relation of logarithms to common numbers is that of
numbers in an arithmetical series to corresponding
numbers in a geometrical series, so that sums and
differences of the former indicate respectively
products and quotients of the latter; thus,
0 1 2 3 4 Indices or logarithms
1 10 100 1000 10,000 Numbers in geometrical progression
Hence, the logarithm of any given number is the
exponent of a power to which another given invariable
number, called the base, must be raised in order to
produce that given number. Thus, let 10 be the base,
then 2 is the logarithm of 100, because 10^2 = 100,
and 3 is the logarithm of 1,000, because 10^3 =
1,000.

facilitating the operation of finding the logarithm of the

subtraction. They were suggested by the celebrated German
mathematician Karl Friedrich Gauss (died in 1855), and are
of great service in many astronomical computations.

(gcide) | Color \Col"or\ (k[u^]l"[~e]r), n. [Written also colour.] [OF.
color, colur, colour, F. couleur, L. color; prob. akin to
celare to conceal (the color taken as that which covers). See
Helmet.]
1. A property depending on the relations of light to the eye,
by which individual and specific differences in the hues
and tints of objects are apprehended in vision; as, gay
colors; sad colors, etc.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The sensation of color depends upon a peculiar function
of the retina or optic nerve, in consequence of which
rays of light produce different effects according to
the length of their waves or undulations, waves of a
certain length producing the sensation of red, shorter
waves green, and those still shorter blue, etc. White,
or ordinary, light consists of waves of various lengths
so blended as to produce no effect of color, and the
color of objects depends upon their power to absorb or
reflect a greater or less proportion of the rays which
fall upon them.
[1913 Webster]

(usually in the plural); as, the colors or color of a ship

artillery has two colors, one national and one
regimental. --Farrow.
[1913 Webster]
8. (Law) An apparent right; as where the defendant in
trespass gave to the plaintiff an appearance of title, by

and implied when it is implied in the pleading.
[1913 Webster]
Body color. See under Body.
Color blindness, total or partial inability to distinguish
or recognize colors. See Daltonism.
Complementary color, one of two colors so related to each
other that when blended together they produce white light;
-- so called because each color makes up to the other what
it lacks to make it white. Artificial or pigment colors,
when mixed, produce effects differing from those of the
primary colors, in consequence of partial absorption.
Of color (as persons, races, etc.), not of the white race;
-- commonly meaning, esp. in the United States, of negro
blood, pure or mixed.
Primary colors, those developed from the solar beam by the
prism, viz., red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and
violet, which are reduced by some authors to three, --
red, green, and violet-blue. These three are sometimes
called fundamental colors.
Subjective color or Accidental color, a false or spurious
color seen in some instances, owing to the persistence of
the luminous impression upon the retina, and a gradual
change of its character, as where a wheel perfectly white,
and with a circumference regularly subdivided, is made to
revolve rapidly over a dark object, the teeth of the wheel
appear to the eye of different shades of color varying
with the rapidity of rotation. See Accidental colors,
under Accidental.

full complement
(wn) | full complement
n 1: number needed to make up a whole force; "a full complement
of workers" [syn: complement, full complement] |
bitwise complement
(foldoc) | bitwise complement
The bitwise complement of a bit field is a bit field of the
same length but with each zero changed to a one and vice
versa. This is the same as the ones complement of a binary
integer.

complementary metal oxide semiconductor
(foldoc) | Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor
CMOS
(CMOS) A semiconductor fabrication
technology using a combination of n- and p-doped semiconductor
material to achieve low power dissipation. Any path through
a gate through which current can flow includes both n and
p type transistors. Only one type is turned on in any
stable state so there is no static power dissipation and
current only flows when a gate switches in order to charge the
parasitic capacitance.

complementary nondeterministic polynomial
(foldoc) | complementary nondeterministic polynomial
Co-NP
(Co-NP) The set (or property) of problems with a
yes/no answer where the complementary no/yes problem takes
nondeterministic polynomial time (NP).
For example, "Is n prime" is Co-NP and "Is n not prime" is NP,
since it is only necessary to find one factor to prove that
n is not prime whereas to prove that it is prime all possible
factors must be eliminated.

logical complement
(foldoc) | logical complement
In Boolean algebra, the logical complement or
negation of a Boolean value is the opposite value, given by
the following truth table:
A | -A
--+---
T | F
F | T
-A is also written as A with a bar over it or with a small
vertical line hanging from the right-hand end of the "-"
(LaTeX \neg) or as A'. In the C programming language, it
is !A and in digital circuit design, /A.

ones complement
(foldoc) | ones complement
A system used in some computers to represent negative
numbers. To negate a number, each bit of the number is
inverted (zeros are replaced with ones and vice versa). This
has the consequence that there are two reperesentations for
zero, either all zeros or all ones.
...
000...00011 = +3
000...00010 = +2
000...00001 = +1
000...00000 = +0
111...11111 = -0
111...11110 = -1
111...11101 = -2
111...11100 = -3
...
Naive logic for ones complement addition might easily conclude
that -0 + 1 = +0.
The twos complement avoids this by using all ones to
represent -1.

set complement
(foldoc) | set complement
The complement of set A in set U is all elements of U
which are not elements of A.

twos complement
(foldoc) | twos complement
A system used in some computers to represent negative
numbers in binary. Each bit of the number is inverted
(zeros are replaced with ones and vice versa), as for {ones
complement}, but then one (000...0001) is added (ignoring
overflow). This avoids the two representations for zero found
in ones complement by using all ones to represent -1.
...
000...00011 = +3
000...00010 = +2
000...00001 = +1
000...00000 = 0
111...11111 = -1
111...11110 = -2
111...11101 = -3
...
This representation simplifies the logic required for addition
and subtraction, at the expense of a little extra complexity
for negation.
