Definition of Logarithm

It comes form the word "logos", ratio or


proportion, and "arithmos", number.

Introduced by John Napier, a scottish


mathematician.

It is the exponent or power to which a base


must be raised to yield a given number.
Definition of Logarithm
General Reminders

In both the logarithmic and exponential forms, b is the


base.
In then exponential form, c is an exponent. This implies
that the logarithm is actually an exponent. Hence,
logarithmic and exponential funtions are inverses.
In logarihmic form , x cannot be negative.
The value of can be negative.
