COMMENTS

Repeatedly take logs, starting from any number not equal to 0, 1, e, e^e, e^(e^e), etc. and you will converge to 0.31813150... + 1.33723570...*I.

A complex number w with a negative imaginary part will converge to the conjugate of z since log(conjugate(w)) = conjugate(log(w)). [From Gerald McGarvey (gerald.mcgarvey(AT)comcast.net), Mar 02 2009]
