Logarithms and Exponentials Essential Skills Practice Workbook with Answers by Chris Mcmullen

Master essential logarithm and exponential skills through helpful explanations, instructive examples, and plenty of practice exercises with answers. Authored by experienced teacher, Chris McMullen, Ph.D., this self-study math workbook covers:
  • logarithms of various bases and natural logarithms
  • the change of base formula
  • logarithm rules like the sum and difference formulas
  • exponential functions
  • hyperbolic functions and their inverses
  • graphs of logarithms, exponentials, and hyperbolic functions
  • a concise review of exponents in the first chapter
  • Euler's number
  • applications such as population growth, continuously compounded interest, and radioactive nuclear decays
  • an introduction to complex numbers in the last chapter
  • an optional chapter covering the calculus of logarithms, exponentials, and hyperbolic functions
The author, Chris McMullen, Ph.D., has over twenty years of experience teaching math skills to physics students. He prepared this workbook of the Improve Your Math Fluency series to share his strategies for working with logarithms and exponentials

Chris McMullen is a physics professor at Louisiana's Northwestern State University. He graduated with a Ph.D. In 2002, he received his Ph.D. in phenomenological high-energy physics (particle physics) from Oklahoma State University. He got his Master's degree in the study of electron spin resonance at California State University, Northridge, where he was born and raised. His area of expertise is the Large Hadron Collider, and he has written multiple papers on the chances for discovering huge superstring-inspired additional dimensions at the LHC.

To convey his enthusiasm for the geometry and physics of the fourth dimension, Dr. McMullen created The Graphic Guide to Extra Dimensions, Volumes 1 and 2. Full-Color Illustrations of the Fourth Dimension, Volumes 1 and 2, are two volumes he authored to help demonstrate the geometry of a fourth dimension of space. When Dr. McMullen first read Rudy Rucker's introduction to the subject in high school, he was enthralled by the concept of a fourth dimension of space. He was working on his Ph.D. at the time.

When Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos, and Dvali published a notable technical study motivating huge superstring-inspired additional dimensions in particle physics, the concept of the fourth dimension was changed from philosophy to a scientifically plausible science. Dr. McMullen has written these books for a public readership to share his enthusiasm for the math and physics of extra dimensions. May your consideration of a fourth dimension of space boost the dimensionality of your thoughts, is one of his favorite sayings.
