Introduction

one of the mathematical concepts which we must be familiar with is logarithms' or divide Before the days of scientific calculators, logarithms were used to multiply

was the most extreme numbers using mathematical tables. For these calculations, ten common common base to usel Logarithm to the base of ten is also called the ancient The used' be also can togarithm" other bases su-ch as fi,vo, five and eight

Babylonians had used bases up to 60.

the eafly 17th Logarithms have many applications in various fields of studies. In to astronomers and engineers ..rr"tury it was rapidly uOopi.O by navigators, scientists, perform computations more easily.

(A)

In our daily life, the relation between two variables is not always in a linear form. For example, the relation between the volume, V, and the diameter, D, inPattZ above" Plot i/against D using suitable scales. When the graph V against D is drawn, the value of tn and Of n arc not easily determined from the graph. If the non-linear relation is changed to a linear form, a line of best fit can be drawn and the values of the constants and other information ean
be obtained easily.
