I've searched all the corners of youtube in seaarching log functions. I've learned literally zero from my teacher then I came across THIS GOLD. Well explained and thank you for covering almost everything my teacher taught that i haven't understand. If only you realize how many students you're helping and giving a chance to ace a test ! THANK YOUU!

In under 3 minutes this gentleman explained what a log is after going through countless teachers WHO NEVER once bothered to explain wtf it is in the first place. I'm shocked. I'm realizing that just learning the conceptual reason for every topic in math boosts your understanding easily twice as much.

you taught this to me in 15 minutes better than my math teacher has in 3 lessons, thank you so much you're a life saver

[tracieirvine]

Thank you so very much! After over 30 hours trying to learn this stuff, you taught me in 20 minutes!

Literally more than a year after but this video still helps others. Thank you so much for putting time and effort into this video. You helped me so much it’s crazy. I’ve understood that video from the first time didn’t need to rewatch it (but I still did) because you sir is great at explaining it. Also thank you for using multiple examples and actually explaining why and how you got there. That was really helpful and I’m a happy student.

I have never understood logs for years and years of being taught logarithms through high school and college. Yet somehow, this guy accomplished the impossible. Thank you so much for this video, I feel like I actually understand logs now!

[Mohit-uivp]

I wish you and Brian McLogan were my math teachers. You guys are great and explain things so well. Thank you so much!

I am 35 years old and I am about to take my placement test to get back into college to finish my engineering degree. your class was so nice I was able to remember and memorize what I have forgotten. Thank you. I will check and see if you have calculus classes.

1:02 - Sir, your favorite just became my favorite! Exponentiating logs is absolutely the most intuitive method. No thrills, no frills, no muss, no fuss! Thank you! I wish I knew this in high school!

[Theofficialdhan]

Quite possibly the best video I've seen on Logs. Thanks Mario! Keep up the good work!

[betajohhny]

As an 8th grader going into 9th grade and alg 2, THANK YOU SO MUCH, LIVING LEGEND!!!!

[tinkernoggin]

10:35 is when I finally understood everything! this is probably the most informative video all about logs out there. Thank you so much for such a clear and concise video, Mario!

[mattiamarchi]

I am a student from England, I'm studying A-level course. As logs and ln was my weak point, you have helped me through the confusion and your video was much more clearer than some of the British teachers' videos. Thank you!

[jerrysmith]

I can't believe you don't have a million more subscribers. Your content is excellent and your presentation is so easy to follow. I can tell you're a tutor. You put this in very easy terms with a very approachable feel. Thanks man, for the time you took to make these videos, they are a huge help to me so I can help my son.

[Realtor_Ryan_Hodzic]

Seriously. Straight to the point from basic concept to nuanced variants in a rapid fashion we can all follow along with. Why can't all teachers just make sense like you and Brian McLogan!?? Others just like to hear themselves talk and show-off.

[jelome_x]

Hey Mario, you are of the the best Math instructor I've come across. Thank you for your simple way of teaching Math. I love this particular video.

[manakiaha]

you are the backbone of my college math education right now... I just want to say thank you so

[benjaminvarner]

I'm watching this one hour before the test, I'll report back on how I did soon!

[edgylearner]

7 years later, and you managed to make me less confused on logarithms than 3 entire weeks of school did.

[johnworthington]

You make things clear, concise, and simple. Good job.
