hey, I am currently doing a project on the applications of logarithms on other fields other than maths... i was wondering whether MP3 encoding has something to do with logarithms??? Any MP3 or LAME programmers here to help me?
Logarithms in MP3?
maybe it does. human auditory system works loosely on a logarithmic scale. our ears respond to ratios rather than differences, with the smallest perceptible change in loudness that the human auditory system can distinguish being roughly 1 decibel and decibels are defined as a logarithmic unit of sound intensity.
