Definition
The logarithm of a number y with respect to base b is the exponent to which b has to be raised in order to yield y
For example: b x= y
Can be expressed as: logb y= x

History
• Logarithms was first introduced by John Napier in the early 17th century as a method to simplify calculations and large indices.
• However, logarithms hasbeen rapidly developed and used in many fields of science now.

History
• Before the invention of calculators, math has to be done by hand.
• The invention of logarithmshas simplified the common expressions of addition,subtraction, power androot

History
• In addition, logarithms continues to be used in our lives today.
• The volume of music is based on the logarithmic scale, the magnitude of an earthquake is also based on a logarithmic scale.
• Logarithm is widely appliedin our lives.

Sounds
• The formula to calculate the decibels is:
• Where is the number of decibels is the intensity and is the intensity and is the threshold

Sounds
• Find the decibel rating for the sound intensity of 5000
= 36.99

Richter Scale
• Richter magnitudes are determined by the amplitude of the waves made by the seismograph
• The formula for Richter scale is:
• Where is the magnitude and A is the intensity
