Question 615386
Suppose you want to express the 
quantity {{{ a }}} as a log.
Write {{{ log(a) = 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^b = a }}}
--------------
Suppose you have 1000
{{{ log( 1000 ) = 3 }}}
and also
{{{ 10^3 = 1000 }}}
