Thread Subject:

log (x) when x tends to 0

Hi everyone, someone can help me to solve:

log(1e-323)...the result in matlab is -Inf, but i need the specific value,

i am trying with the serie:
i=1:1000
serie=(-1).^(i+1)./i.*(p-1).^i;

But is imposible to reach the real value, I have to use a superior limit greater
than 1000000, but Matlab says out of memory.

Somedody can help me to solve it, thanks
jose.

Simple: -323*log(10)
Thanks Jose,
:)
