The numbers on the slide rules had different scales (“logarithmic scales”, meaning that the distance between numbers increase exponentially) and you could simply look up a number, and slide the ruler over to another number to get the number you want. Have you ever heard of a slide rule? (Ask your parents…or grandparents…)Ī slide rule was used (among other things) to multiply and divide large numbers by adding and subtracting their exponents. But logarithms are also used for many other things, including early on to perform computations – before calculators and computers were around. We’ll soon see that Logs can be used to “get the variable in the exponent down” so we can solve for it. I’m not sure exactly why, but you can do so many awesome things with them! I have to admit that logs are one of my favorite topics in math. Introduction to Logarithms (Logs) What is a Log and Why do we Need Them?
