This is why we teach students about logarithms today. For example, in order to integrate $\frac 1 x$ in calculus, you "need the logarithm". Of course, you could just numerically integrate it, but it's useful to know that the result of that integration is actully a function with certain algebraic properties and which turns up as the answer to ...
Introduction to Logarithms. In its simplest form, a logarithm answers the question: How many of one number multiply together to make another number? Example: How many 2 s multiply together to make 8? Answer: 2 × 2 × 2 = 8, so we had to multiply 3 of the 2 s to get 8. So the logarithm is 3. How to Write it. We write it like this: log2(8) = 3.

27 Αυγ 2020 · Definition. A logarithm is the answer to the question what power x do I need to apply to the base b in order to obtain the number y: log_b(y) = x is another way of specifying the relationship: b^x = y. Let’s plug in some numbers to make this more clear. We will do base-10, so b=10.
A logarithm can have any positive value (other than 1) as its base, but logs with two particular bases are generally regarded as being more useful than the others: the "common" log with a base of 10, and the "natural" log with a base of the number e.
Logarithms are inverse functions (backwards), and logs represent exponents (concept), and taking logs is the undoing of exponentials (backwards and a concept). And this is a lot to take in all at once.
A logarithm is an exponent (x) to which a base (b) must be raised to yield a given number (n). We can also say that logarithm is the inverse of exponentiation. When mathematically expressed, x is the logarithm of n to the base b if $b^ {x}=n$, in which we can write as $\log _ {b}n=x$.
