Applications of Logarithms

Applications of Logarithms uses dynamic images, computer graphics, and familiar language help to bring the mathematics of exponential and logarithmic functions to life. Students will come away with a clear mental picture of the behavior of these functions and of their many occurrences in the real world. Applications involve carbon dating on dinosaur fossils, nuclear decay, population models, interest and amortization, seismology, learning curves, and more. Transparencies and follow-up activities included in the kit allow students to further explore the concepts of exponential functions, common and natural logs, and the number.
