Logarithm
Early in the 17th century it was suggested to simplify long computations by presenting all real positive numbers as powers of some particular number.
The exponents of these powers called logarithms, were arranged in tables and in accordance with the principles of exponents multiplication was replaced by addition, division by subtraction, involution by a single simple multiplication, and evolution by a single simple division.
The exponent of the power to which a fixed number (called a base) must be raised in order to produce a given number is called the logarithm of a given number.
Most logarithms are endless decimals. The integral part of a logarithm is called the characteristic, the fractional or decimal part – the mantissa.
The logarithm of the product of two or more numbers is equal to the sum of their logarithms.
Log (mn) = log m + log n
The logarithm of the quotient of two numbers is equal to the logarithm of the dividend minus the logarithm of the divisor.
Log (m/n) = log m – log n
Involution by logarithms. The logarithm of a number is equal to the logarithm of a number multiplied by the index of the power.
= a log m
Evolution of logarithms. The logarithm of a root of a number is equal to the logarithm of the number divided by the index of the required root.
Log 
= (log m) / a
