    Very fun, thank you! (Minor note: I think 44D is double-negative in a way… I would parse an ANTILOG as an exponential, not as its opposite.)

      You're right, I got mixed up. In all my years of studying math I have NEVER seen "antilog" anywhere. That would be like calling subtraction "unaddition" or something.

        I consider it "old-timey" talk — or, if you wanted to spin it positively, "retro" 😂

      Nice, thank you!
