Hi,

I’m currently working on MATH-1359 
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-1358?jql=project%20=%20MATH%20AND%20assignee%20=%20currentUser()%20AND%20resolution%20=%20Unresolved>
 which is working an analog of the relationship between sin(x) and sinx(x) = 
sin(x)/x but instead for log(1+x) = log1p(x). The  sine function has the term 
"cardinal" associated with it when we actually perform 
cardinal sine (x) = sinc(x) = sin(x)/x
however, I don't seem to see any clearly defined analog, in a quick glance at 
the literature , for the log function. Do you have any thoughts on what the 
name should be? Clearly first intuition would be 
log1pc(x),
but that only follows from the 
sinc(x)
naming convention and isn't necessarily rooted in the literature. Another 
thought that occurred to me was to name such a function
log1pMultInv(x)
implying that we're also multiplying by the multiplicative inverse. But, that 
is not rooted in the literature either. I would love to hear any suggestions 
that folks have for a naming convention that is intuitive here .

Many thanks and all the best, 
-Rob
