Finally, I have two days off
I've read two links on logs, on last link now but read that as first link, I keep getting distracted
Do you know, I didn't have a clue what magnitude meant, it's just the power of/exponent, I did say I was getting tripped up by not relating words to meanings, I have also just read up on base numbers
Now here's where I look like a complete dummy again.lol
Are they saying a base number keeps climbing at that specified rate
0,1,2,10,11,12,20,21,22 etc for base2 & is that why we get a plot on graph with base number of 2n
I think I have that right, again never seen anything described like that before
Hope your both well & have recovered from all my questions so far so I can ask more.lol
So a base number is also called a indice or index number.....how many names can they give the same thing?
So Im getting mixed up already, indice is exponent not base num......hold on, I'm confusing myself, they wouldn't call the exponent the base number would they, wouldn't that be backwards or am I being too logical?
They blinking well are aren't they, no wonder I'm taking ages to understand it all
I'm nearly there, all week Inbetween work for about 4hrs reading, by tomorrow, I will understand logs & how they work
But for tonight, I'm shattered
