- The logarithm is the exponent or power to which a base must be raised to yield a given number. - Logarithms can be read as Logarithm of 'N' to the base 'a' is equal to 'x'.
We also have logarithmic calculators, which have greatly accelerated and simplified our calculations.
Logarithms with a base of ten are known as common or Briggsian logarithms. They are denoted by the symbol log n.It was invented in the 17th century to help with calculation speed.
Two most trivial identities of logarithms are:
Logarithm Formula
Some of the properties of logarithmic functions allow you to simplify the logarithms when the input is in the form of a product, quotient or value taken to the power.
