to whom it concerns,
I'm writing a program in Pd to calculate the points of the Mandelbrot set i need to use logarithms in my formulae but the logarithmic function in Pd seems to stand for ln-the natural logarithm (log to the base e)
and not the normal "calculator's version" of log.
Am i missing some object to overcome this or will i have to convert it using exponentials and other tricks.
Is there no other way of finding say the 30th root of a number apart from using logs or using the sqrt function 30 times!!!
any comments would be appreciated.

ln(x)/ln(10) = log10(x)
similarly
ln(x)/ln(30) = log30(x)
