Data from an experiment may result in a graph indicating exponential growth. This implies the formula of this growth is \(y = k{x^n}\), where \(k\) and \(n\) are constants. Using logarithms, we can ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I help people communicate data clearly with graphs. There are two main reasons to use logarithmic scales in charts and graphs. The ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I help people communicate data clearly with graphs. In “When Should I Use Logarithmic Scales in My Charts and Graphs”, I showed ...

Microsoft's Excel spreadsheet program includes a Chart Wizard for making a variety of graphs from tabulated data. In some situations, as with scientific experiments, the data in one or both axes of ...

The ability to map numbers onto a line is universal. But for an Amazonian tribe, this mapping is not linear but logarithmic. The finding illuminates both the nature and the limits of the human ...

When the logarithmic function is approximated by sequences of algebraic functions, similar questions can be posed as in the case of other similar problems. So, for example, it is interesting to ...

The least-squares regression comparison of linear, exponential, logarithmic, and power functions for 13 diverse profiles demonstrated that: (1) a standard method of plotting profiles from source to ...
