  • A logarithm, or a log, is a power that some fixed number, called the base, must be raised to in order to get a given result. And that sounds much more complicated than it actually is. In this episode of Study Hall: Algebra, James demystifies logarithms!

    Things have escalated pretty much compared to the first episode

    I am an older dude reviewing what I once knew fairly well. Yes, this section was covered a bit too fast for immediate comprehension. However, it is a crash course : ) I guess I'll have to review it again...

    Thank you for making this series. I understand what he is saying perfectly, but man did I have to pause, rewind and watch the video a few times. It's a lot to absorb folks, but just keep watching it over and over and it all makes sense in the end.

    This video is so fast paced, it's crazy. Feels like such a rushed procedure where most ideas are taken for granted or stated sparingly. The whole thing feels like it is being presented as a formality rather than an aide. I strongly recommend pausing frequently and taking notes to Google better explanations later.

      As a further guide, think of this video , not as a lesson but, as a listening comprehension check on logs - if you can follow everything he is saying, you have studied well and if you cannot, more studying is essential.

    why did this course take more time to explain how to solve an equation than explain what logM^k is???? Can't understand this one

      I think the reason it seemed confusing was probably because of how fast he talked, if you go through it slowly you can think of every rule that he uses to reach the solution.

    I started to think that I had somehow inadvertently enabled 2x speed but when I checked it said "normal"...Slowing it down just made it sound ridiculous and distracting.

    That was the first video of this series I had to watch twice. It did make sense eventually, though. Just a lot of "wait, what?" moments at first.

    this video was great but it made my brain feel like the no signal sign on the television😵

      Glad you're finding it useful! If you need a study break, consider trying a 20 minute meditation to refocus and reset: th-cam.com/play/PLNrrxHpJhC8lh2408LMoQOr0mkY3ecDS3.html

    For me, it helps to see logs (and even fractions for exponent type problems) in thier prime factorization forms since square and cube roots aren't always apparent to me. The example given around 3:20 I would write as log2(2^2 x 2^3) = log2(2^5) = 5. I can clearly see the log base and the base number match and the exponent and final answer match. Doesn't so much help with non perfect powers but a good way to introduce it I think.

    This is a great video and explanation, but my brain just cannot comprehend logarithms.

    What about log base 1 of 1? Is it 1, 0 or undefined?

    I think this episode could have to stood to be quite a bit longer. The entire thing felt like a rush to me.

    "e is used so much because mathematicians chose to use it" Why say this, when its basically untrue. e is used so much because the derivative of e^x = e^x.

      What's a derivative? would be the question he would then have to answer.
