You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Suppose you want to express the
quantity +a+ as a log.
Write +log%28a%29+=+b+
This is read as " b is the log to the base 10
which gives me a "
----------------
To express a without a log, write
+10%5Eb+=+a+
--------------
Suppose you have 1000
+log%28+1000+%29+=+3+
and also
+10%5E3+=+1000+
