The trick here is to realize that

I wrote a whole NON-TRADITIONAL explanation of LOGARITHMS in College Algebra!! The easiest way to find my explanation is to go to my FREE website using the easy-to-remember and easy-to-spell link www.mathinlivingcolor.com. At the bottom of this page is a link that will take you to my Homepage. Look near the top of this page for the link "Basic, Intermediate, and College Algebra: One Step at a Time", click on "College Algebra." In College Algebra, look in Chapter 4 for an entire chapter on Logarithms. The lesson is complete with explanations, examples, and exercises with all the answers. You will especially like the "MATH IN LIVING COLOR" sections that go with this. There are also TWO FREE videos of me teaching this topic in my younger years before I retired from teaching. The videos can be found from my Homepage by looking for the link "Rapalje Videos in Living Color". Choose College Algebra, and look for the Logarithms videos. I think you will find that my explanations are a LOT easier to understand than the traditional textbooks you are probably using.

Happy New Year!! My Email address is rapaljer@seminolestate.edu if you need to contact me!!
