Study Notes

Inverses of Functions

  • The inverse function of exponentiation is the logarithm.

Logarithmic Values

  • The logarithm base 10 of 1000 is 3, as 10 raised to the power of 3 equals 1000.

Types of Logarithms

  • The base of the natural logarithm is Euler's number, approximately 2.71828, denoted as e.
  • The common logarithm used in science and engineering typically refers to logarithms with base 10.

Logarithms in Computer Science

  • The logarithm frequently used in computer science is the logarithm base 2, denoted as logâ‚‚, which is significant in algorithms and complexity analysis.

Historical Context

  • Logarithms were introduced by John Napier in the early 17th century.
  • Logarithms simplify calculations, particularly multiplication and division, by converting them into addition and subtraction.

Additional Information

  • The value of the natural logarithm base e, denoted as ln(e), is 1, since e raised to the power of 1 equals e.
