Watch this video to learn about straight line graphs of logarithmic and exponential functions. Open Transcript. Data from an experiment may result in a graph indicating exponential growth ...

Mathematicians have long sought to develop algorithms that can compare any two graphs. In practice, many ...

For example, in the right hand graph of Figure 2 is a population of Paramecium growing in a laboratory culture. The pattern of growth is very close to the pattern of the exponential equation.

Exponential growth is so difficult to visualize that it is often graphed in a special way, Lipson said. It's called a logarithmic scale, and it's easy to spot: Just look for graphs, like the one ...

This post offers reasons for using logarithmic scales, also called log scales, on charts and graphs. It explains when logarithmic graphs with base 2 are preferred to logarithmic graphs with base 10.

The data look very different when plotted on what is called a logarithmic scale. In a typical graph, values on the (vertical) y-axis are plotted linearly: 1, 2, 3, and so on, or 10, 20, 30, or the ...

“The graph that really grabbed my attention was the one showing a model of daily new cases of Covid-19 with social-distancing measures starting just one day apart,” Dr. Britta Jewell said.

The good news is that data storage technologies are improving even faster than Moore's law. Doubling about every year or so, and falling in price. Relentless progress. The beauty of the Moore's ...
