Take logarithms?
John Napier
The logarithmic function is not defined for zero or negative numbers. Logarithms are the inverse of the exponential function for a positive base. Any exponent of a positive base must be positive. So the range of any exponential function is the positive real line. Consequently the domain of the the inverse function - the logarithm - is the positive real line. That is, logarithms are not defined for zero or negative numbers. (Wait until you get to complex analysis, though!)
The base of common logarithms is ten.
In math, that may either refer to changing the base of the number system (for example, change from decimal (base 10) to binary (base 2)); or it may refer to changing logarithms, from one base to another - for example, common (base-10) logarithms to natural (base-e) logarithms.
Natural logarithms are logarithms to base e, where e is the transcendental number which is roughly equal to 2.71828. One of its properties is that the slope (derivative) of the graph of ex at any point is also ex.
No. The so-called "natural" logarithms have a base of ' e ', and you can find the log of any positive number to any base you like.

Logarithms can be taken to any base. Common logarithms are logarithms taken to base 10; it is sometimes abbreviated to lg. Natural logarithms are logarithms taken to base e (= 2.71828....); it is usually abbreviated to ln.
The logarithms of numbers from 1 to 10 in small steps, including rules for interpolation. There may also be logarithms of common trigonometric functions such as sine and cosine.The logarithms will often be to base 10 and natural logs (base e). The tables will also contain antilogarithms.
To which base? To base e (natural logarithms) loge 589 ~= 6.378 To base 10 (common logarithms) log10 589 ~= 2.77 To base 2 (a base I quite like) log2 589 ~= 9.202
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.
Natural logarithms use base e (approximately 2.71828), common logarithms use base 10.
The base 10 logarithm is called the "common logarithm". * * * * * It is also called the 'Briggsian logarithm', named after Henry Briggs, who introduced his table of logarithms on base 10 at Oxford in 1624, much to the joy of navigators, astronomers, and others having tedious calculations to perform.
