Log Calculator
A Log Calculator is a tool that computes the logarithm of a number to a specified base, commonly base 10 (log) or base e (ln).
Why Use a Log Calculator?
- Essential in math, science, and engineering for solving exponential equations.
- Used in finance for compound interest and exponential growth calculations.
- Helps in computer science for algorithm complexity analysis.
How Does It Work?
- Enter a number (x) and the logarithm base (b).
- The calculator applies the formula:
- Common logs: log(x) (base 10)
- Natural logs: ln(x) (base e ≈ 2.718)
- It returns the logarithm result.
When Is It Used?
- In exponential growth & decay (e.g., population, radioactive decay).
- In finance & economics (e.g., interest rate calculations).
- In computer science (e.g., logarithmic time complexity).
