In mathematics, the base-b cologarithm, sometimes shortened to colog, of a number is the base-b logarithm of the reciprocal of the number. It is equal to the negative base-b logarithm of the number.
Inchemistry, a decimal cologarithm is indicated by the letter p. For example, pK = – log10 K andpH = – log10 .
