Logarithm Project

HISTORY OF LOGARITHMS

Pair of three

You know the definition of logarithms in terms of exponential expressions, but did you know that their relationship
with exponents wasn't even realized until years after their invention? Indeed, there was another reason that led
mathematicians to develop the idea of a logarithm, and your task is to identify those mathematicians and the reasons
behind their work.
There are many contexts in which logarithms are used today. Uses of Logarithms that were very common in the past
have now been programmed into machines, so that we do not actually see the logarithms on the surface. One
encounters many logarithms without even realizing it, because they do most of their work behind the scenes.

Your project consists of writing a report that contains the following parts. A list of references must be included at
the end of your project.

1.) RESEARCH THE HISTORY OF LOGARITHMS. Include in your final paper the following topics:
-Who were the mathematicians responsible for inventing logarithms?
-What reason led them to invent logarithms?
-Who were the mathematicians responsible for adapting logarithms into the system that we recognize
today?
-Though not required, you may also write about any other historical topic relating to logarithms that you
find interesting. (The discovery and uses of the natural base "e" is one such possibility.)

2. )Find two applications of logarithms in real-life situations that you find interesting. For each of the applications,
include: a description of the application (what is this used for?) and your reason for choosing the application
