The range over which you wish to plot is important. Try, for example: In[1]:= Plot[Log[2, Log[2, x]], {x, 1, 2}] The plot is OK. Look at the values of ln2 (ln2 x) in the neighborhood of 1 + 0: In[2]:= Table[Log[2, Log[2, x]], {x, 1, 2, 0.1}] Out[2]= {-Infinity, -2.86246, -1.92668, -1.40159, -1.04267, -0.773584, -0.56049, \ -0.38546, -0.237869, -0.110917, 0.} Tomas Garza Mexico City
