    This lesson actually gets into some logarithm calculations (without a calculator) by using the definition of a logarithm. Some really good example problems are shown and the calculations are explained step by step. Some really great examples are chosen, such as log base 3 of 0 and log base 3 or 1, in addition to simpler logs.

    I like how the lesson takes you step by step slowly enough to truly understand the information.
