don't know dose this work for u: Unprotect[Log]; Log[a_,b_]:=Hold[Log[a,b]]; Log[b,n] >>------- gleam at flashmail.com ("Mr. Wizard") wrote: : The expression Log[b,n] evaluates to Log[n]/Log[b]. I would like to : replace this notation as the default with Log[b,n], such that not only : will Log[b,n] evaluate to itself, but such that Simplify, : FullSimplify, etc., will use the form Log[b,n] whenever applicable. : MakeBoxes is likely the correct function to use, but I don't know how : to implement this change. Please help. : Paul --
