I know why I can add [tex]2 \pi i[/tex] to [tex]log_{e} \omega[/tex]
([tex]log_{e} \omega = log_{e}z + i \theta[/tex] if [tex]\omega = z(cos \theta +i sen \theta )[/tex]) but I can't understand why I can add [tex]\frac{2 \pi i}{log_{e}b}[/tex] to [tex]log_{b} \omega[/tex].
Does anyone have the answer for me?
Thanks!

If you know the first, the second is easy! Because
[tex]log_b(\omega)= \frac{log_e(\omega)}{log_e(b)}= \frac{log_e(\omega)+ i2\pi}{log_e(b)}= \frac{log_e(\omega)}{log_e(b)}+ \frac{2\pi i}{log_e(b)}[/tex]
