Page 18 - Suppose a* = n, then x is called the logarithm ofnto the base a; thus the logarithm of a number to a given base is the index of the power to which the base must be raised to be equal to the number. The logarithm of n to the base a is written logaw; thus logaw = x expresses the same relation as a* = n.
