logbV
logbV refers to the logarithm of a value V with respect to a base b. In mathematics, a logarithm answers the question: "To what power must we raise the base (b) to get the value (V)?". The expression logbV is the power to which b must be raised to equal V. For example, log2(8) is 3, because 2 raised to the power of 3 equals 8. The base b must be a positive number other than 1, and the value V must be positive.
Logarithms have the property that logb(xy) = logb(x) + logb(y), logb(x/y) = logb(x) - logb(y), and logb(x^p) = p * logb(x). These
The concept of logarithms was developed by John Napier in the early 17th century to simplify complex
