Understanding Logarithms as Time vs. Growth (1 of 2: Introducing the Metaphor)

[@tBar9223]

Very good teacher. I avoided maths entirely at school (and in subsequent life). However, now I’m looking at a career change into finance and am having to teach myself maths from (almost) scratch. It’s actually pretty interesting!

"How _log_ does it take?" Thank you Mr. Woo. You saved my life.

6:02 "If I'm doubling, and I do it for 5 time periods. This is how big I'll be." 6:13 "If I'm doubling, and I want to end up 32 times bigger than I started, how long should I do that?" I think confusion comes from thinking the set starts at 2. This might be why the next question was about the rate. When it comes to conceptualization, I've been describing this as "a kind of fence post problem" where the discrete points of measure are the post (styles) and the operations are the rails that connect them and span the time periods. Fence |===|===|===|===|===| Time | 00 | 01 | 02 | 03 | 04 | 05 | Rate x2 x2 x2 x2 x2 Size | 01 | 02 | 04 | 08 | 16 | 32 |

isn't the question of the student at the end answerable? I mean the answer to "at what rate" would be the n-th root, wouldn't it?

What is the rate at which it grew if its present size is S (32) and it has been growing for t (5) periods ? r = S^(-t) or t √ S, t-root of S, ( =5√32 = 2). Naturally, you need to know all the other variables (S and t) first.

"You may not understand the concept really well".. If you realise, (in the Singularity =sync-duration Eternity-now Interval Universal Flash Conception) that you ARE the real-time realization of log-antilog Conformal Field Condensation periodicity Condensation that is naturally occurring probability of AM-FM alignment in pure-math relative-timing motion ratio-rates Perspective, because i-reflection containment is Absolute Zero-infinity axial-tangential orthogonality containment.., you are a participant in conscious awareness, ie "Awake". Learning by doing, developing Intuition is re-evolution circularity quantization cause-effect @.dt instantaneously shaping e-Pi-i sync-duration probabilistic log-antilog positioning. This "takes time" to learn in useful compositions of 0-1-2-ness GD&P parallel coexistence, "Trigonometric=2D", tangency spacing relative time-timing sequences. Instantaneously.

now explain this in understandable language

So I couldn't hear the question about rate, but couldn't we solve for rate if we know S and t by using either of the following? r = S^(1/t) r = ᵗ√S I understand that when we get into nth roots, we can have several different real, imaginary or complex answers, but is that not a valid form of the same equation?

Never mind, I just watched part 2. Thanks.
