Logarithms and eighteenth powers

In the OEIS specifically and mathematics in general, ${\displaystyle \log x}$ refers to the natural logarithm of ${\displaystyle x}$, whereas all other bases are specified with a subscript.

If ${\displaystyle n}$ is not a multiple of 37, then either ${\displaystyle n^{18}-1}$ or ${\displaystyle n^{18}+1}$ is. Hence the formula for the Legendre symbol ${\displaystyle \left({\frac {a}{37}}\right)=a^{18}\mod 37}$.

As above, irrational numbers in the following table are truncated to eight decimal places.
