log2(3) and log2(5)

Read Original

This technical article examines the rational approximations of log2(3) and log2(5), starting from known approximations like 19/12. It investigates whether one constant is inherently easier to approximate than the other using continued fraction convergents and discusses methods like irrationality measures to quantify approximation quality.
