Class/Form: Form Three
Rationale:
You can use logarithms in many Statistics, Biology, Physics, and Chemistry concepts to solve different problems.
Logarithms are mainly the inverse of the exponential function. Historically, Math scholars used logarithms to change division and multiplication problems into subtraction and addition problems, before the discovery of calculators.
In recent times, Math scholars and students use logarithms to solve exponential equations and to solve numbers extending from very big to small expression in a more refined manner.
In general, we also use properties and applications of logarithms in various geological circumstances:
- To estimate the data in logs obtained from magnitude scales for earthquakes.
- Geologists also make use of logarithms to find the Gutenberg-Richter relation.
- Next, they also use logs to calculate alterations in atmospheric CO2, population growth.
- Finally, geologists prefer applications of logarithms in radioactive decay-dating estimation, sedimentology, and to determine grain sizes.
