What they are: A logarithm is the exponent you raise a base to in order to get a number, acting as the inverse of exponentiation. Why they matter: They simplify multiplication, division, and roots ...

This happy little math lesson features a Bob Ross-style mini-lecture on logarithms. Puns, math, references to Bob Ross, the outdoors, and a really kind teacher: That’s the combination school children ...

In this video I work through 16 different examples of evaluating a logarithm with a base of 2 and 3. We will evaluate logarithms that have an argument of integers and fractions. I make short, ...

Logarithms are a common idea today, even though we don’t use them as often as we used to. After all, one of the major uses of logarithms is to simplify computations, and computers do that just fine ...

Logarithms are everywhere in mathematics and derived fields, but we rarely think about how trigonometric functions, exponentials, square roots and others are calculated after we punch the numbers into ...
