+## Logarithms

+$$\log_b (x) = n \quad \operatorname{where} \hspace{0.5em} b^n=x$$
+
+Wikipedia:
+
+> the logarithm of a given number $x$ is the exponent to which another fixed number, the base $b$, must be raised, to produce that number $x$
+
+### Logarithmic identities  
+$\log_b (xy)=\log_b x + \log_b y$  
+$\log_b x^n = n \log_b x$  
+$\log_b y^{x^n} = x^n \log_b y$
+
+### $e$ as a logarithm
+
+$$\log_e e = 1$$
+$$\ln x = \log_e x$$
+
+### Differentiating logarithms
+$${d \over dx} \log_b x = {1 \over x \ln b}$$
