This types of classes are even better than real time live online streaming. Being able to stop the video, rewind, replay is AMAZING and USEFUL.

I’ve been an engineer for 36 years. I struggled for a bit early on.. I wish I had a teacher like this guy, as I know I would have done better and not have had the early doubts about my chosen profession. He needs to teach teachers…

Have an amazingly clear vision of Logarithm now, but I have to follow you to the next class when my memory is still fresh! I can't express my appreciation for this teacher. You are amazing.

I read your bio and am amazed that a literal rocket scientist can explain things so clearly that the rest of us "normal" people can understand them. You are a great communicator and clearly care about your students. Thank you so much!

Perfect. You are the greatest teacher. Reason being, you try to explain, bases, so one can understand and derive a conclusion. Most university professors teach to confuse. They use the jargons, to show how smart they are, rather than make sure that student gets education. Great job.

Incredebale : I am French, 80 years old and I follow your wonderful curse with passion: Because despite my bad English knoledge I found out that all yours curses are quite comprehensif and clear. I wish i coud have encounter such a Professeur when I was yung: Congretulation and great respect for such a talent of pedagogy, Peter.

I'm a 60 y/o, engineer. Relearned from you how to make the math concepts clear to the students and instill enthusiasm in the receptive minds. This class i would rate the best ever on this topic. Wish you had been my teacher 45 years ago. Love you teacher!

WOW, this absolutely stomps on any academy lessons... You explained it all without assumptions that we already know something... Absolutely great instructor!

Thanks a lot for putting so much effort to teach us all these amazing stuff, Sir. I missed out all these details in high school and now when I am in college doing my Bachelor in Electrical engineering, I wish I could go back to that time and learn all the things that my teacher didn't taught. Now that I have a LOT of time for the COVID-19 situation, I am using this time to watch your tutorials as much as possible. This is helping me A LOT to clear my doubts. You have a gift of teaching. Wish I had teachers like you here.

Thanks for the first full explanation on logarithms that I have ever found. It's cleared up everything. You are easily the best teacher online.

if you used to be my teacher when I was young I would certainly have graduated, nice job

You are an excellent teacher. I love the practicality that you put in your lessons. This is worth gold.

Oh man, you are the best math teacher on earth, period! God has given you extraordinary talents to help humankind, thank you sir!

This is the BEST lesson on logs I have found. You, as a teacher are VERY good at your craft! Thank you so much for making this video.

Wonderful explanation. Logarithm is now demystified for me. Love to see more like this. You are a GREAT teacher. God Bless you!!

This video nailed it, I was looking for how logarithms are useful in practice and the Richter scale example got me that much closer to understanding.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE how you explain things so very easy and thorough. You are without question my very favorite math you tube source. You ARE appreciated! I bought all your set of DVD's years ago - like 30 of them, the algebra, trig, and calculus series. Absolutely sensational. Now I am enjoying you on you tube. You have actually gotten MORE thorough through the years! I LOVE THIS!

Great lesson! And man... that "It's a button on your calculator" story at the beginning really speaks volumes about terrible teachers with incurious minds everywhere. Just brutal.

This was so well approached, and the opening explanation was exactly the reason I've had problems for the past 30 years as an engineer every time I have to use logarithms. I always knew how to use them, but never truly understood them until I absolutely had to when I jumped into machine learning and data engineering. ps. anyone else noticed how all mathematical & engineering men seem to gravitate to this exact same handwriting? It is the exact same as mine, and in almost all videos I've seen recently, they use the exact same style and look, even down to small quirks in it. However, female engineers and both men and women in other fields, tend to have quite different, way more flowy handwriting, even when using the same handwriting style

First class teaching. A great educator, and a most accomplised performer.

I have met a number of people in my life that were good at their trade or occupation or their calling in academics or vocational field but even though they were wonderful and Highly skilled, they did not have the talent to teach it to others they were either impatient or just did not know how to explain it well. I wish I would have had this guy for my math teacher , in the 10th grade I even went to the principal and turned in my math teacher and reported him as being one that couldn't explain algebra good enough to understand it, of course they took the teacher's side , but you know you really don't know how much you really missed out on until you see a guy like this guy, he is personable, intelligent and he knows how to explain it. I have found that in math, if you ever purchase a math book and after the person's name if it has PhD forget it do not purchase that book usually those books you cannot understand anything they're teaching in it , I'll give you a good example in the field of pipe fitting you have to know right angle trigonometry to do offsets, and the best teacher that I've ever come across was Johnny Hamilton who was a pipefitter himself and he taught trigonometry in the book that ended up selling in Walmart stores in such a simple way to where people in the pipe field could understand it, if you would have attended a local college you never could have understood it the way he taught it , oh yes , if I would have had this guy as my teacher I probably would have chosen math as my favorite subject and he's right I've had college chemistry before and you have to know logarithms or you cannot keep up with college chemistry

You deserve your title as a teacher thanks so much you have helped me understand a lot of stuff that my own teacher was failing to teach me now im certain that im going to pass my exams all i need is to follow your videos.

The homey Jason Gibson honestly explains logarithms better than anyone else on KZfaq.

You are a superb teacher….why weren’t there teachers like this when I was having my early education!

I'm so addicted to his coloured marker pens😮😮 and my mind is 🤯 when he uses green on the graph. OMG so artistic. Jokes apart, we should actually save his intuition based teachings for the students in the post apocalyptic times in the future. ... seriously.

A simply difficult, and easily confusable topic is so eloquently and emphatically understandable. Terrific presentation by an inspirational teacher. And he's a mathematician.

One of the best videos explanation of anything I have ever seen.

Sir you make that so clear.You have a natural ability to make things so straight forward. You are a Gifted Teacher!

Was not able to understand logs before but now the concepts are crystal clear. Excellent work sir

Now I understand the math of Logarithms - Log1000 x better than ever. Thank you!

I remember how strange it was this funtion. It seemed useless and strange. Your explanation clears out my mind and proves its importance. The digits representation , the number of zeros, were never taught when i was at school. The Richter scale explanation was awesome. To know what the graphs are about when earthquakes appear as TV news or science news is really interesting, and the most important of all is that you help people understand it. And That's what you are doing in such a clear and motivated way. Thank you very much for giving the best in your teaching. 👨‍🏫

Nobody has ever taken the time to help me at anytime in my life This is the first time I am beginning to understand something meaningful, beautiful about the world I live in I would like to become a constitutional Law student at Broklyn Law school in New York, but I dont see it becoming real eventually I woukd like to attend The London School of Economicss, and comeback home to help the US government with their Budget Defecit issues I dont see how I could possibly pay for all this but I will take it one day at a time... Thank you for helping me, and I hope your time will not go in It will make me happy tosee my dreams come through

I almost never comment on videos, but I have to thank you - sincerely, and from the bottom of my heart - for this series of videos. I'm in my second semester of college chemistry, and all of the sudden we are seeing equations with Log and ln and e and I had no idea what they were. There was no support in the chem book because they assume you know them already. I watched four or five videos today before I got to yours, and this is by far the best, most thorough, most understandable way I have seen it explained.Thank you so much!!!

A logarithm is simply an exponent used to describe all the numbers that fall in between the whole number exponents (2,3,4,5,6,7 etc) powers of 10. Ex. The number 180 can be described as 10 raised to the 2.2552725021 power, whereas 500 is 10 raised to the 2.69897000434 power. I remember teaching logs in the USAF as a recon tech/instructor for students in the photographic science career field. We taught the short cut that for a POSITIVE number, the Characteristic (whole number portion of the exponent) was a number that was ONE LESS than the number of digits immediately to the left of the decimal point. For negative numbers, the Characteristic was one more than the number of zeros immediately to the right of the decimal point. The mantissa was found in the log chart, if my memory serves me correctly. So,..for the number 12,657.00, the Characteristic is 4, since there are FIVE numbers to the left of the decimal point . For the number .000027 the Characteristic is -5 since there are four zeros to the right of the decimal point.

He always goes the extra mile to make you understand what he is teaching. Splendid!

Effort, Effort and more effort from someone who wants to educate and share the secrets of maths with the world. A magician with maths on a mission to make us all to become aware of some of the mysteries of this planet.

I am from Lithuania , I have seen many of you videos and there is one thing to say ,anything you explain is very easy to undesrtand. Thanks a lot for effort you put in to explanation. Many teachers should take lesson from you . Awesome!

You are truly an amazing teacher! You teach with confidence, and that inspires confidence! Thank you! Finishing a civil engineering degree after 30 years with your assistance....

One of the best learning channels . God bless you!

You remind me of the professor who fina)y enlightened me on Laws of Math. Got a B and was happy. You have the rare ability to break Math down so others can love it. Thanks again

Awesome. More energy in video and easy to understand

Thank you so much for doing this mathclass. Never had a teacher who can explain these things the way you do..not even on my College courses have I had one. Thank you once again we appreciate it.

I've been struggling in math, literally. Thanks to you for all your clear and understandable teaching techniques.

Thank you so much. You are one of the best teachers around. I am pointing all my kids who are taking science and economics to your channel. Much respect and appreciation.

Hoi! Deze leraar is ZO goed man , te gek.

Thinking of the inverse function as being the function that undoes the action of the original function is a nice way to look at it and I never thought of it QUITE like that for some strange reason ... thanks!

Excellent explanation. Logarithms come up all the time but trying to wrap your head around them is a rough go. Thanks for the help.

Just understood logarithmic transformation. Important in Epidemiology .Thank you very much. What a teacher!

You've set the standard for teaching. All teachers could learn from your methods.

Can't miss a thing when listening to the explanation. it's so full of information and no short or long cuts taken. Thank you for sharing to us clearly your own understanding of logarithms.

Very grateful to you for putting this out. I'm beginning a new career in data analysis and you've helped me take a whole step forward in a 45 minute lesson.

sometimes I don't Understand How you did Something, but somehow, I Understood it after a day or after 6hrs than I talk to my brain and say where were you at that time you were absent uh? than you blame me that I didn't pay attention! anyway, the more I watch your videos the more I fall in love With Math thanks❤

These videos helped me carry out a learning project that focuses on the application of math concepts and theories. Thanks.

First-rate teaching lesson. Thanks Math and Science for the lucid and enjoyable introductory entrée into understanding logarithms. I didn't even feel the need to take a bathroom break.

You are a blessing, you make learning worth it. Math never seemed as interesting before. Thank you!

Thank you so much for actually explaining these math functions...it really helps to retain information when you understand how and why they're applied

I hope that someday my wealth grows exponentially so I can log your bank account with most of it because you are hands-down the greatest teacher I never had. Thank you for all of this INVALUABLE information. Truly.

You are an amazing teacher ♥️♥️♥️🙏

You’re a great teacher … thanks for your tutoring … I’ve been taking online courses towards my degree in mechanical engineering, and you know, every little bit helps.

Notice that K is on the X axis and N is on the Y axis for the exponential function; and N is on the X Axis and K is on the Y axis for the Log function. And The BASE IS NOT ON THE AXIS

Another great lesson, I appreciate the way you shared your knowledge. Greetings from Brasil !

I am 65yrs old and for the 1st time someone has explained that the base is not a counting system, but a coefficient. The u young man

Before this video, Log was just a button on the calculator. But your video changed that ! Loved your energy, and you made everything so clear.

Thank you so much, Sir. Your explanations are truly helpful. Wish the hidden videos wont be hidden anymore. Anyway, I am still truly grateful. God bless you for generously and patiently making these worthwhile and very helpful videos.

One of the serious mistakes that some teachers do is that they do not explain the mathematical concepts to their students, they just assume their students know. This is a fatal mistake and leads to catastrophic results. I now keep on watching your class simply to be able to explain these concepts to my kids in simple language and I am sure they will love mathematics. Thank you sir.

You are helping us to understand that science is available for all who really love it and are determined to learn it and not only for the cleverest and most extraordinary minds. With work, passion and a great teacher we all can make it! Many thanks!

simply i couldn’t stop listening to this excellent math teacher. cheers,

Heard it all before,never understood why What a great teacher! And I am so much more ravenous for knowledge then this ignorant and lazy high schooler I used to be

I loved your lesson! You explained it very well and bring also so many plus informations! It was excellent!

You are amazing !!!!! Auhhhhh...I don't what to call you a teacher or scientist but it seems that you have done them all !!!! I admire your work &really appreciate it/////thnx for things U give for those who needs it (100%knowledge!!!) Watching your lectures from//////// Iraq

This man is a genius.. ! He is gifted to transmit the knowledge.

Thank you so much for making this. I came across logs while researching to learn more about chemistry, so and I was very curious about how it worked. This video is excellent, you are very good at explaining things :)

YOU ARE A FABULOUS TEACHER, BECAUSE OF THIS CLASS LOGARITHM BECAME CRYSTAL CLEAR.SUCH CLASSES ARE RARE .THANK YOU VERY MUCH SIR.................

NICE lecture, good clear explanations.

If only I had you as my teacher. I would have past every class in my young days!

Wonderful explanation. Hats off to you.

I'm still trying to remember the Sine of 30 degrees is one half, Cosin is rad 3 divided by 2. Why am I watching this? Because you are such a good teacher and I want to get a glimpse of What is a Logarithm. I love math and I'm soooo glad I found your channel. Edit: The flashlight example to explain SIN and COS is guiness. You are Math, Thanks for teaching.

The best maths teacher on youtube

The best teacher 👌

Stay blessed for imparting knowledge ❤️. Very happy to relearn with utmost clarity.

Fabulous teacher, very rare. God's gift to humanity. Massive thanks. John.

holy shit a teacher that can actually teach. Wow a hero at work. He gives the what it is. Why it is. And how to use it. where its used. Brilliant

Much more useful than real classes, much more easier to understand

I really enjoyed your lecture. You are such a great Mathematician

really wonderful real-life application at the end, I appreciate your efforts to teach math simplified for a ages

It really kind of makes me mad to see a guy that is this talented, that can teach it so well , when I compare him to what I had to put up with in high school with a teacher that never could explain to me what a variable was in algebra , it makes me mad that I didn't have a teacher like him in this video , if I would have had a teacher like him I could have excelled and would not have gotten discouraged with math, I see now even more so after seeing this guy and hearing this guy teach that they employ so many teachers that are so under qualified to teach Math in high schools. If he has children can you imagine how well they will probably do in math to have a dad like him that will be able to tutor them and help them understand math , they are so fortunate to have a dad like him that can sit down at home and teach them far better than any school teacher they will ever come accross.

Thank you very much for explaining math concepts so well. You have a great way of putting concepts into understandable language.

i cant believe that my professor tried to cram all of this into 20 minutes. This is lesson is amazing.

We had a teacher at college 40 odd years ago who for the whole first year walked into class and said "The log of a number to a given base is the power to which that base must be raised to give that number". He would then continue with the class. It wasn't until second year that he walked in and asked "Who knows the definition of a logarithm".

I have nothing to say except that you are an exceptional teacher

The best teaching method, thank you sir

Wonderfully explained 🙏 God bless you for the effort , time and patience you have put into the priceless knowledge you share 🙏🙏🙏🙏 thank you Sir 🙏

Mathematics is the orderly study of the structure and patterns of abstract entities. Pattern recognition is key. Best if you can memorize the patterns.

Thank you for another enormously informative video.

Great teacher. Really appreciated. We have a lot of good people in this world! 👌

I admire being teacher having the same passion and momentum you exhibit

Thank you, soooooo much! This is what I needed !!

There’s another very important thing that logarithms used to be used for. There was time, back when I was young and dinosaurs walked the earth, when pocket calculators did NOT EXIST! So, suppose you have to multiply numbers with 7 or 8 or more digits. It’s extremely difficult to do this and be sure your answer is correct. But, say you need a result that’s correct to the fifth digit. Well, what you would do is go to the book of logarithms. These books had page after page of columns of numbers and their logs. So you’d simply take the logs of those two many digit numbers you have to multiply and add those logs, then go to the line with the log for that sum and the number in the corresponding column would be the product of those two numbers you had to multiply. I leaned this when I was in high school, and would do my math homework in the library using their book of log tables. I think, also, that this is why logarithms were originally invented.

Thanks for helping me understand mathematics and science in general

The best explanation I have found, and I've watched so many videos about logs here in KZfaq.
