5 Ιαν 2016 · In this discussion, we will explore several compelling real-life applications of logarithms, demonstrating how this mathematical concept plays a crucial role in various fields such as science, finance, and technology.
Logarithms are the mathematical function that is used to represent the number (y) to which a base integer (a) is raised in order to get the number x: x = ay; where y = loga(x). Most of you are familiar with the standard base-10 logarithm: y = log10(x); where x = 10y.
8 Αυγ 2023 · Logarithms have wide practicality in solving calculus, statistics problems, calculating compound interest, measuring elasticity, performing astronomical calculations, assessing reaction rates, and whatnot. This article will cover some of the most common real-life applications of logarithms.
The classic real-world contexts for logarithm word problems are the measurement of acidity or alkalinity (that is, the measurement of pH), the measurement of sound (in decibels, or dB), and the measurement of earthquake intensity (on the Richter scale), among other uses (link).
We're at the typical "logarithms in the real world" example: Richter scale and Decibel. The idea is to put events which can vary drastically (earthquakes) on a single scale with a small range (typically 1 to 10). Just like PageRank, each 1-point increase is a 10x improvement in power.
18 Απρ 2023 · There are various real-life applications that can be modelled using exponential/logarithmic functions. We will describe a few of these applications and work through some related word-problem examples in the following sections. Exponential Growth/Decay. Data such as population can be modeled using exponential growth/decay.
27 Μαρ 2023 · A logarithm is simply the number of times we need to multiply one number together to make another number i.e. it is the power to which a number must be raised to get another number. Logarithms allow us to deal with extremely large or extremely small numbers without getting our heads in a spin.
