Figured it out, thanks anyway!
I just used the log function; and used the abs() built-in on A, the negative number.
Seems to work.
def m(t, precision=1E-12, maxiters=100):
m=1.5
for i in range(maxiters):
n =m*log(m)+(m+1)*log(abs(A))-m*log(B)-log(k)-log(t)
dn =1+log(m)+log(abs(A))-log(B)
if precision > abs(n):
return m
m=m-(n/dn)
