What are logarithms?

Logarithms are mathematical functions that allow us to solve exponential equations. They are essentially the opposite of exponential functions and help us convert large or small numbers into more manageable values. The logarithm of a number is the power that a given base must be raised to produce that number. For example, the logarithm of 1000 to base 10 would be 3, because 10 raised to the power of 3 is equal to 1000. Logarithms are widely used in mathematics, science, engineering, and finance to simplify calculations and analyze data.
