Definition: Logarithm


Let $N$ and $b$ be positive real numbers, with $b \neq 1$. Then the logarithm of $N$ (with respect) to the base $b$ is the exponent by which $b$ must be raised to yield $N$, and is denoted by $\log _{b} N$

Rules of Logarithms


$\begin{array}{ll} \text{L}1. & N=b^{\log _{b} N}\\\\ \text{L}2. & x=\log _{b} b^{x}\\\\ \text{L}3. & \log _{b} b=1\\\\ \text{L}4. & \log _{b} 1=0\\\\ \text{L}5. & \log _{b}(M N)=\log _{b} M+\log _{b} N\\\\ \text{L}6. & \log _{b} N^{p}=p \log _{b} N\\\\ \text{L}7. & \log _{b}\left(\displaystyle\frac{M}{N}\right)=\log _{b} M-\log _{b} N\\\\ \text{L}8. & \log _{a} N=\displaystyle\frac{\log _{b} N}{\log _{b} N}\\\\ \text{L}9. & \log _{a} N=\displaystyle\frac{1}{\log _{N} a}\\\\ \text{L}10. & \log _{a^{p}} N=\displaystyle\frac{1}{p} \log _{a} N\\\\ \text{L}11. & a^{\log _{k} b}=b^{\log _{k} a} \end{array}$

Common Logarithm


The logarithm of $N$ to the base $10\left(\log _{10} N\right)$ is said to be a common logarithm, and is usually written as $\log N$ (omitting the base). where $n$ is called the characteristic and $\log a$ is called the mantissa of $\log N$.

$\begin{array}{|l|} \hline\log _{10} N=\log N\\ \hline \end{array}$

If $\quad N=a \times 10^{n}$,

then $\quad \log N=\log \left(a \times 10^{n}\right)=\log 10^{n}+\log a=n+\log a$ where $n$ is called the characteristic and $\log a$ is called the mantissa of $\log N$.

Note that $n$ is an integer and $1 \leq a<10$

Euler's Number


As a positive integer $n$ become very large, the value of $\left(1+\displaystyle\frac{1}{n}\right)^{n}$ approaches an irrational number, which is denoted by $e$.

Natural Logarithm


The logarithm of $N$ to the base $e$ is called a natural logarithm, and is denoted by $\ln N$.

$\begin{array}{|l|} \hline\log _{e} N=\ln N\\ \hline \end{array}$
