Mastering Exponential and Logarithmic Functions

Are you struggling with exponential or logarithmic equations in your mathematics or science class. You've come to the right place. This course will first help you to extend the basic principles of exponents to create functions modeling the real-world phenomena of growth and decay.

Not only will you use exponents to create these models, but after learning the principles of logarithms, you will be better prepared to solve advanced exponential equations using logarithms. Additionally, you will use Euler's Number (the constant "e" which has a value of approximately 2. 71828) and "natural" logarithms to work with and solve real-world problems involving continuous growth and decay.

With an understanding of the principles of logarithms, you will be able to solve advanced exponential functions problems more efficiently and exactly than with other algebraic methods. Develop confidence with exponential functions, the basic concept of a logarithm and properties of logarithms, and how to apply both exponents and logarithmic principles to solve real-world problems. This course builds on my previous course (Mastering Exponents, Exponential Expressions and Equations) and designed to supplement your existing and future mathematics and science classes.
