but is it true for, for example x^(0.002) ?
Yes.
Is that what he means?
I don't know. Perhaps that he only has natural exponents in mind. But it
is true that lim_{x -> + oo} log(x)/x^a = 0 for any _a_ greater than
zero.

Thanks Jose
It is a book written for non-mathematicians like me so I expect you
are correct. I understand it now. I was trying to demonstrate it to
myself using an Excel chart, but the numbers get big very easily.
Hopefully I can continue with the book and publish my proof shortly
after Christmas ;-)
