====Usage notes====
{{sense|mathematics}} This symbol, ''lg'', is defined as the base 10 logarithm in the ISO 80000-2:2019 standard, which instead prescribes the symbol {{m|mul|lb}} for the binary logarithm. Despite this, ''lg'' is not widely used in English-language literature. Wolfram MathWorld [https://mathworld.wolfram.com/Lg.html observes] that the use of ''lg'' for a base 10 logarithm is standard in German and Russian literature.
