Can anyone tell me what show this is from?

Dying for more about LOGarithmS?
How about a log joke?
Q: How do we reduce an exponential growth of grass? 
A: Using a "ln"-mower!

  

Way before calculators existed Logarithms were developed to reduce large numbers into smaller numbers, so that operations such as multiplication and division can be performed more efficiently. When translated literally from the Chinese language, logarithm means reduced number.   The logarithmic form is another way of expressing the exponential form, this time in much smaller numbers.   Logarithms were devised by John Napier in 1614.

+ 1 point on your test for being an avid blog checker and responding to a question.

There is another math related question down a little further. I posted it over spring break. ;)

Good Luck
