[QUOTE="Albervin, post: 14402, member: 586"] [b]Not ALL LOGS ARE THE SAME.....[/b] There are actually 2 types of logarithms; Napierian (natural) & common . The latter is all based on the number 10 & how any number can be expressed as a factor(?) of 10. So log 10=1, log 100 =2 & log 1000 =3. Multiply 1000 by 1000 & you merely add 3+3 to get 6 & look up anti log 6 to get 1,000,000. Napierian logs are based on the number 2.7182.... (like pi it is never ending). Another term used is exponential logarithm & this is not the place to explain the intricacies & beauty of pure mathematics. [/QUOTE]
