Solve x = y^z for z 2003-06-28
From Nathan:
If x = y^z is there a way to solve for z, if x and y are given, without guessing or already knowing the answer?

ie: 64 = 2^z
6 is the obvious value for z. Is there a way I could solve for this variable using a formula, which would also apply when more complex values were substituted for x and y?
