Given that they're writing for high school students (among others), I would hope that they mention (at least in a footnote) that they, like most researchers, write "log" where high school teachers would insist upon "ln". Can someone who's read the book comment on how Mazur and Stein handle this? Jim On Friday, February 27, 2015, meekerdb <meekerdb@verizon.net> wrote:

On p. 48, last line, first paragraph of Mazur/Stein book, shouldn't it be Li(X) = integral 2 to X of (1/log(t)) dt, rather than what is written?
I think you're right - I passed on your comment to Stein.
