What's the difference between logs and charts?

a chart keeps track of something that is ongoing.\na log keeps track of things that have already happened.

Logarithms were invented in the 1600's to make calculations easier (multiplication, square roots, etc.) Now that we have calculators, that particular use is not so important, but logarithms are still useful. For instance, they cut very large numbers to a manageable size. \n\nSuppose you watch a stock in the stock market, and look at a chart of the stock price. On a linear chart, a ten dollar increase from 10 to 20 looks the same as a 10 dollar increase from 100 to 110. But in the first case you have doubled you money and in the second case only made 10% on your money. A chart with a logarithmic scale makes the distance from 10 to 20 look the same as the distance from 100 to 200. It can show a more meaningful picture of the ups and downs of your stock.\n\nNow maybe stocks don't normally get to unmanageably large numbers, but the same idea holds when you want to draw a graph where the numbers go from tiny to huge. (e.g. 1 to 1000000 - you would either need a huge piece of paper for that graph, or the differences at the low end, such as from 1 to 10 would be too hard to see.) Measurements over several orders of magnitude like that are common in many fields. For example earthquakes are measured on a logarithmic scale: A magnitude 8 earthquake is 1000 times stronger than magnitude 5. If you want to see both on a graph, and still be able to see the differences at the lower end of the range, logarithmic graphs are a helpful tool. \n\nNoise decibels are also measured on a logarithmic scale, because there is such a wide range of sound levels that can be detected by humans.\n\nAnytime you want to graph or visualize something that can range from a small number like 1 to some huge number like 1000000 or 1000000000, it helps to use a logarithmic graph.

Spreadsheets are essentially accounting worksheets.  They serve the exact same purpose.  Finance people also use them, probably more than accountants do.\n\nSource - 25 years of accounting & finance experience.

Here is a tutorial...you can change any of the parameters that you mentioned and look at the graph as it is made and changed...really cool if you ask me.\nhttp://www.analyzemath.com/logfunction/logfunction.html

This is due to a property of log which is that :\nlog(ab)=log(a)+log(b)\nRemark that this is true when well defined (for eg you can't write log(-1*-3)=log(-1)+log(-3) )\n\nSo here, you have log(x^2)=log(x)+log(x)\n\nTherefore, there are no diff. except that log(x^2) exists for all x in R&#92;{0} and 2log(x) is defined for all x strictly positive.

I either go to a piece of paper with a ruler, or I go to Excel or I use Visual Basic and the chart control -- depends on the information being charted and the source of the information.

A graph is a way to visually show the relationship of different numerical values - there are lots of different types of graphs:  Pie, line, area, bar, etc.\n\nCheck out this site:\n\nhttp://nces.ed.gov/nceskids/createagraph/

Not sure what you mean. A pie chart is - in essence - only a graphical depiction of percentages.

On 1 graph you could put age(x) and height(y).....and on another graph, you could probably put age(x) and weight(y)......I think :)

It means the file is a "Works Spreadsheet or Chart"

Trading acconts are accounts that are directly involved with buisiness, like sales, purchase, sales return etc. Difference in trading account is the gross profit or gross loss, which means direct profit or sales from buisiness.\n\nProfit and loss accounts are accounts that are not directly involved, like travel, electricity bill etc. gross profit/loss from trading is also carried forward to Profit/loss report and the net difference in Profit and loss account is Net Profit or Net Loss.

its more or less like your personal diary.. the greatest difference, its online!\n\nweb-log = blog

Bar graphs are better for comparing data from a single event or circumstance. Line graphs are better for things over time.

you have to be exact what you mean by names\n\nb-cuz a label is a name but than the names can be info in the chart, table or/and graph
