The Scottish mathematician John Napier published his discovery of logarithms in 1614.

I've never been taught logarithm and no one has been able to explain it as clearly as you did! Thank you so much :D

[scaletta]

Seriously this video saved me hours of time, still can't believe i learned basic logarithm in just 3 minutes
Thank you very much

There are two simple ways to solve for these simple logarithms (assuming they can be solved with whole numbers):
First, the way that most kids do it, is to take the base number (in this case, 2) and keep multiplying it by itself until you reach the "argument", or the number you want the base to be equal to by multiplying the base by itself: 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 =32 . That gives you an exponent of 5 for base 2.

The other way is to do the exact opposite: take the "argument" number (in this case 32) and divide it by the base number (in this case, 2) and keep doing it: 32/2 = 16, 16/2 = 8, 8/2 = 4, 4/2 = 2, 2/2 =1. Both ways will give you the correct answer, 5 as the exponent to raise 2 by.

I've found the second way is slightly less frustrating than simply multiplying the base number over and over again by itself and hoping you get to the argument number. It's also a much faster way to discover whether or not the argument (in this case, 32) can be reduced to the base number.

The reason I made this comment is because a lot of kids don't simply "know" how many times a number multiplied by itself will give you the argument number in these equations.

I go to a school which teaches IIT math but they came no where near explaining it this simply. I thought this was gonna be a super tough chapter, but this is one of the easiest. Thank you so much

[promomaster]

No one can explain this as well as you did!!
Fabulous

I am in 11th grade and log is new to me. I tried to understand it in class. But failed time after time. Then I saw this video and it made the concept clear as a crystal to me. Thank you

[aditimohanty]

As I am in standard 9, so log is quite impossible me to understand but from this 3 min video I clearly understood it👍

[ferdinandgamboa]

Oh may gosh! !!! in all my years of being a stem student, I have never learned that.

UNTIL NOW!!!!
THANKS A BUNCH

[shubhashah]

The concept which I felt was difficult was explained so easily and beautifully. You saved hours of my time. Thank you very much 🌟🌟

[Gupta]

I am in 9th grade, I've never been taught this chapter, and here I am, slowly getting grasp of logarithms. Truly a great teacher.🤗🤗🤗

[ersrland]

Yeah! log is easy. Thanks a lot. Really, this video have carried my confidence level to the perfect position.

[Kristynorris]

Literally don't memorise is the best platform to learn tough concepts in less time

[barodinarashbiswas]

I have never been taught logarithm. You simply explained, now it seems easy to me.Thank you so much😊😊😊

[emdieless]

Where has this channel been all my life. im failing easy equations here

[khushalmahajan]

You give us a very deep knowledge . Thanks for that😊

[内田ガネーシュ]

Every time people ask who my teacher is. I tell them it is my teacher. They say the school is very good but my teacher is an indian on youtube. I swear you guys make school an extra curricular activity on flexing.

My father was making me do a tough problem (which came in a COLLEGE PAPER) for practice before I started grade 8. Log came there and I was so confused I cried. But then I found your video and you helped me so much !! Thank you !!

[amproductions]

I have never learnt logarithms... I thought it was a complicated thing. I tried learning it by my own but I was extremely confused between logarithms and exponents.. thankyou so much for helping me to understand it crystal clear ❤😀

[R_samurai]

Wow.... I always wondered what these 'brevity' of words and numbers were...and Just 3 mins suffice the comprehension of logarithms... Great!Thanks(A grade 10 student)
[Tryna sound as complex as i can, LOL😜]
