    A logarithm is just an exponent, specifically the log of a number X to a baseB is  just the exponent you put onto B to make the result =X

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithm The logarithm of a number is the exponent by which a fixed number, the base, has to be raised to produce that number. For example, the logarithm of 1000 to base 10 is 3, because 1000 is 10 to the power 3: 1000 = 103 = 10 × 10 × 10. More generally, if x = by, then y is the logarithm of x to base b, and is written logb(x), so log10(1000) = 3.
