In mathematics, the logarithm of a number to a given base is the power or exponent to which the base must be raised in order to produce the number. For example, the logarithm of 1000 to base: 10 is 3, because 3 is the power to which ten must be raised to produce 1000: 10 = 1000, so log101000 = 3. Only positive real numbers have real number logarithms, negative and complex numbers have complex logarithms. The logarithm of x to the base b is written logb(x) or, if the base is implicit, as log(x). So, for a number x, a base b and an exponent y, The bases used most often are 10 for the common logarithm, e for the natural logarithm, and 2 for the binary logarithm. An important feature of logarithms is that they reduce multiplication to addition, by the formula: That is, the logarithm of the product of two numbers is the sum of the logarithms of those numbers. The use of logarithms to facilitate complicated calculations was a significant motivation in their original development. Logarithms have applications in fields as diverse as statistics, chemistry, physics, astronomy, computer science, economics, music, and engineering. From Wikipedia under the
