Data from an experiment may result in a graph indicating exponential growth. This implies the formula of this growth is \(y = k{x^n}\), where \(k\) and \(n\) are constants. Using logarithms, we can ...

THESE tables aim at popularising logarithms. Like other four-figure tables they give the logarithms of numbers from 1000 to 9999. While the ordinary tables give these in one opening of two pages by ...

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 ...
