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

Seriously!

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"

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

Great examples. I love logarithms.

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! 👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻

Great work!

Explanation with folding paper method is excellent

Excellent explanation... Thank You...

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

This is useful form students sothank you mam

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.

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

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

Thank you for this video

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 KZread video by “Tarek Said”

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.

Thank you

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.

Simply put, an exponential function is a function with an exponent in it. Exponents refer to the things that float above a letter or number. Think of x squared, the number ‘2’ would float above the top right corner of ‘x’ (I wish I could type it on my phone). Another way of saying x squared would be to say ‘x to the power of 2’. Now let’s swap it around. Let’s say ‘2 to the power of x’ instead. Here, 2 would have a floating ‘x’ above it, therefore ‘x’ could be referred to as the exponent. In the video, she said ‘logarithms ‘undo’ exponential functions where ‘x’ is the exponent. This is because, taking the logarithm of an exponential function essentially leaves you with an expression that equals ‘ = ‘ the exponent. So if ‘x’ was the exponent, the expression would equal ‘ = ‘ x, allowing you to solve for ‘x’. This is what she meant by ‘undoing’ and exponential function, simply figuring out what ‘x’ was if it was used as an exponent / power.

Some people are amazing teachers, who will explain it much better than I. Some other videos work better for other people. Try Eddie Woo ‘intro to logarithms’, I like his methods.

Concept of logarithm is given by Muhammad Musa Al-Khawazami

can you give some info on logarithms and astronomy or the orbits of the planets?

So you say logarithm is the inverse of exponents. But I learnt somewhere that square root is the inverse of exponents, which is which?

Both can be true. The square root 'undoes' a square, so the square root is not the inverse of all exponents, only the square.

They only tell us what to learn but never say why we should learn. Teachers do not want students to ask questions. If students ask questions teachers think students are testing them so they get angry.

I would definitely consider math and invention and not a discovery. Math is just a way for humans to connect the world around them and to understand it better. It's not something you can teach to another animal because it don't actually exist. If an animal sees 2 humans it don't know that there's two. Mainly because other animals don't connect the world around them the same way that we humans do.

so it wasnt invented and developed by Alkhwarizmy

That didn’t explain anything.

it is a known fact that Logarithms were developed by Al Khawarzmi in the nine century and the name is derived from his name.Europeans later took the science and built on it. You are a professor. please do your due delegence.
