Why are logarithms useful

Who do our education system dont teach us that? They just tell us stuff but they never tell us what they are used for.

Years after leaving school, I have been relearning mathematics for 3D animation including physics simulations. This week, I was learning logarithm which I had long forgotten. Now I am looking for challenging logarithm problems or puzzles to solve.

Accidentally skipped a little and was greeted with "How long has the body been dead?" out of context. 😂

Very useful video. My students say this is "epic"

[johncrwarner]

Heck, I was born in 1962
and I didn't have an electronic calculator
until I was sixteen
so in my mathematical education
logarithms were vital for doing calculations.
Even often I got my first calculator
(with a square root function!)
They were not allowed in exams
but you got a collection of log tables.

Thank you very much. Information is all the difference

This would be clearer if you plotted it in a two axis plane. In a log chart the slope represents rate of change so a constant growth is a straight line. In a linear chart a constant growth rate is parabolic.

Concept of logarithm is given by Muhammad Musa Al-Khawazami

Explanation with folding paper method is excellent

[xavierkreiss]

Tried to watch this again.To me, this is incomprehensible.

[santhoshkumarsaraf]

Great Explanation ... Now i saw this video in 2020 ... Thank U very much Maam ... Im from India... Im a math teacher ...
Super Knowledge, Tq

[chinabade]

This is useful form students sothank you mam

[kskchaitanya]

Excellent explanation...
Thank You...

[robertmayfield]

It would be good to see at least one of the problems in the video solved this way.

I've been trying to understand what a logarithm is and why it's useful. I was lost around 2'15".
To me, a statement such as "logarithms 'undo' exponential functions so that we can solve for x" is incomprehensible, because I don't know what "exponential functions" are.

[matthewphares]

If logarithms are exponents then why not just use the exponential equivalent equation to solve the problem? Not sure if this explains why logarithms are useful.

I recommend checking YouTube video by “Tarek Said”

0:09 Ah yes, mathematicians, they usually come in domestic couples, arguing, usually starting around the years of retirement.

[sammob]

a computer science student (just watched [which was enough] the video for 30 sec :D ) : finally an understandable explanation, thanks ^^

[tritiyo_noyon]

haven't even finished the video. just wanted to say, had I found you in my college days I wouldn't have leave Math as my major. makes me sad all the time.

[TUSCKY]

Oh my goodness!! I did not expect to understand what logarithms are! That was a very pleasant surprise, so thank you very much!! I’m gonna watch more of your videos; you have a new subscriber! 👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻
