    6:56 is the moment that makes you such a good teacher that you didn't say it's already there but you turned it into a great example of showing it works with any numbers. I love this kind of mentality that there's essentially no wrong answer in your classes.

    I enjoy this, because there are so many techniques in his way of explaining. For instance, the guitar is a perfect hook into the subject. Starting with recap. Writing down as the students fill in the gaps. Hinting. Pausing someone to stop the talking.
    It all seems really easy and natural, but all of this could take any lesson to a whole new level and empowers interactivity.
    Cheers for making this.

      Take a look at the fret pattern on a guitar, and notice how it is non-linear. This is because the mapping of the frequency of sound on our music notes, is a logarithmic scale. So an incremental change in the note you play, is actually a multiplicative change in the frequency, and hence a multiplicative change in where you place your finger on the fretboard to make that sound.
      My guess is that he used the guitar to demonstrate this as an application of logarithms.

This is because our musical note layout is a logarithmic scale of frequency. Incremental movements on the musical scale, correspond to multiplicative changes in frequency.

      There were reference books with logarithm tables. The tables were made with numeric integration of 1/x. I had to do a similar thing on a biology exam where calculators weren't allowed. It was multiple choice, and I had an exponential growth problem to reverse. All that mattered was getting the answer to 1 significant digit, so manually doing a numeric integration of 1/x worked for me.

    = log x a/log x c
    doesn’t that make it

      Be careful with your notation. I use the underscore, to indicate the base of the logarithm (or subscript if I have that luxury), and the parenthesis to indicate the argument. If not otherwise specified, in my notation, log means log base ten, and ln means log base e.
      log(c^a) is not log_x (a) / log_x (c)
      Instead, log(c^a) = a*log(c).
      Here's how it works for the rest of what you wrote:
      log_a (m/n) is log_a(m) - log_a(n)
      log_x (a) / log_x (m) = log_m (a)
      log_x (a) / log_x (n) = log_n (a)

      Given:
      log_b (c^a)
      We'll let the b equal the base of "log", so that this can apply no matter whether log refers to log base ten, or natural log. Let b=10 if you want it to be log base ten, and let b=e, if you want it to be natural log.
      Use the change of base rule, to rewrite it in base c, so we can unpack the exponential inside the argument.
      log_b (c^a) = log_c (c^a) / log_c (b)
      By definition of logarithm base c, it tells us the exponent of what c is raised to inside the logarithm. Thus:
      log_c (c^a) = a
      Reconstruct:
      log_b (c^a) = a/log_c (b)
      Use the change of base rule, to restore our remaining logarithm back to log base b:
      log_c (b) = log_b (b) / log_b (c)
      log_b (b) will give us 1, since b^1 = b, and it returns us the exponent of b. Thus:
      log_c (b) = 1 / log_b (c)
      Reconstruct with our previous equation:
      log_b (c^a) = a/log_c (b) = a/(1/log_b (c))
      Simplify the nested reciprocal, since 1/(1/x) = x:
      a/(1/log_b (c)) = a * log_b (c)
      Thus we can conclude that:
      log_b (c^a) = a * log_b (c)

      @@ryanjagpal9457 Yeah, it is difficult. In my experience, exponent properties were intuitive for me, but the only log rule that I internalized right away, was the change-of-base rule. After all, that is the only way to input log base 2 on most calculators.
      The log rules are all mathematical "mirror images" of corresponding exponent rules. Knowing the exponent rules, you can derive the log rules as well.

    • @carultch
      @carultch 10 місяців тому

      The guitar fretboard is an application of logarithms. Take a look at the frets along the neck of the guitar. They aren't laid out uniformly, but instead they are far apart near the tuners, and close together near the sound hole.
      This is because music notes are defined logarithmically, where 12 semitones comprise 1 octave, which is a doubling in frequency. One twelfth of a doubling is how the semitone is defined, which is a ratio of the twelfth root of 2.
      Given any frequency in Hertz, you can calculate the corresponding music note through logarithms. 440 Hz defines Middle A, or A4. Divide the frequency in Hz, by the reference frequency of 16.352 Hz, the frequency of the note C0. Then take the log base 2, and round down. That tells you the octave number. For historical reasons, the A-note is defined as a rational number of Hertz, while the C-note defines the start of the new octave.
      If you want to know where within the octave it is, divide frequency by [16.352*2^(whole number from previous part)], and then take the log base 12th root of 2. This tells you how many semitones it is, from C as the reference note.
      Example: given 100 Hz, what note is it?
      log_2 (100 / 16.352) = 2.61246, indicating that it is in Octave 2
      Now take the log base twelfth root of 2, of the remainder:
      log_twelfthrootof2 (x) = ln(x)/ln(2^(1/12)) = 12*ln(x)/ln(2)
      12*ln(100/[16.352*2^2])/ln(2) = 7.35
      The note G is 7 semitones above C, hence the note of 100 Hz is G2.

      He said he had a second reason. I can't find the next lecture, but I'm guessing he also brought it to demonstrate the guitar as an application of logarithms. Take a look at the fret pattern, and notice how non-linear it is. That is because incremental movements on the musical scale, correspond to multiplicative changes in frequency (and therefore, division in wavelength). This is why the frets are not linearly distributed, but rather logarithmically distributed along the guitar's neck.
