A logarithm table (Tamil : மடக்கை) (Sinhala : Lagu potha)can be thought of as a computerized arithmetic cheat sheet. You can get assistance with complex computations by using its pre-calculated numbers. The logarithm, or a special method of measuring a number, can be quickly found for a given integer. It is especially helpful for scientists and engineers who deal with numbers frequently, as it simplifies complex mathematical difficulties. It works with computers, phones, and tablets, and it even allows you to look up individual numbers. It’s similar to having a knowledgeable math assistant at your disposal!
