logs were designed to make complicated multiplication and division problems into addition and subtraction.
log generally have two types of base:
1.Natural base (e) , also known as naperian logarithm (this name is based on logarithm method inventor john napier)
2.Common logarithm (10), base we generally use in problems.
properties:
1.if logpq=w then pw=q
2.logpa + logpb= logp(ab)
3.logpaq=q*logpa.
