Logarithms are actually an area of mathematics. Using logarithms one might ask the question, "what is the logarithm of 5 (base 10 being assumed)" And the answer would be, you would raise 10 to the power 0.698970004 to result in 5.
The base of common logarithms is ten.

Logarithms were invented by John Napier who was a mathematician. He invented other things too, so there was no reason why he couldn't invent the logarithms. Logarithms were invented so people could take short cuts to multiplications! :)
In 1614, John Napier published his invention of logarithms.
No, they are opposites, just like multiplication and division are opposites.
