'''Motivation for log''': Assume strings 1 and 2 have equal tension and thickness, and have lengths $L_1$ and $L_2$ respectively. Find a function $\log$ that, given the ratio between $L_1$ and $L_2$, measures the corresponding subjective difference in pitch, i.e. is an isomorphism from the multiplicative group of positive real numbers to the additive group of real numbers. | '''Motivation for log''': Assume strings 1 and 2 have equal tension and thickness, and have lengths $L_1$ and $L_2$ respectively.
