How Do You Calculate Logarithms with Base 2 and Perform Decibel Calculations?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on calculating logarithms with base 2 and performing decibel calculations. Users seek tutorials specifically for base 2 logarithms and practical methods for calculating them using simple calculators. A key formula provided is log_a(x) = log_e(x) / log_e(a), which can be adapted by substituting 'e' with '10' for convenience. The conversation emphasizes the need for accessible resources to understand these mathematical concepts.

logarithms and decibels please

Hi i need some good tutorials for the logarithmsI(especialy for logarithms with base 2)
and how i can calculate logarithms with base 2 when i have a simple calculator.
Also i need some decibel tutorials that can help me understand how i can perform calculations using decibels
 
Physics news on Phys.org
any kind of help please?
 
I did a google search on "logarithm tutorial" and got lots of good-looking hits. Do any of those help? (Just re-do the search, and include the quotes.)
 
Ok, I don't know about tutorials but log_a(x)=log_e(x)/log_e(a). If you don't like e you can substitute 10.
