¡Oh, por el amor de los logaritmos!
En esta clase de 3 semanas, los estudiantes aprenderán la historia, el concepto y las propiedades de los logaritmos. Veremos cómo se utilizan como funciones, como la inversa de las funciones exponenciales y como una herramienta para simplificar y resolver problemas.

This course is intended to give students an opportunity to learn about the concept of logarithms, as well as their properties, applications, and functions. It is intended to be an introduction to logarithms, so no prior understanding of them is required. However, it will be helpful for a learner to have an understanding of the rules of exponents prior to taking the course. Although we will have a set amount of content to cover each class, the class dynamics and procedures will be tailored to the unique make-up of each group. Larger groups will have more opportunity to work with partners and small group dynamics, while smaller groups will have more individual check-ins with me. The class will meet twice a week, and each meeting is 55 min to allow for ample time to explore, discuss, and practice the concepts presented. I encourage my students to be active learners by asking and answering questions, offering explanations, etc., as this enriches the experience and the learning for all students. There will be no required homework assigned in this class, but optional homework assignments/extra practice will be provided after each class meeting for students to complete when needed.

Introduction to Logarithms
In this lesson, we will learn about the history, definition, and basic characteristics of logarithms. We will look at logarithms through two lenses: 1) the logarithmic function, and 2) logarithms as an operation 55 minutos de lección en vivo en línea
Lección 2:
Properties of Logarithms
In this lesson, we will extend our understanding of logarithms by connecting the properties of logarithms to the properties of exponents. We will see how the properties relate to logarithmic functions and expressions. 55 minutos de lección en vivo en línea
Lección 3:
More with Logarithmic Functions
In this lesson, we will focus on the graph, characteristics, transformations, domain and range of logarithmic functions. We will also look more closely at the inverse relationship between logarithmic functions and exponential functions. 55 minutos de lección en vivo en línea
Lección 4:
The Number e and the Natural Log
In this lesson, we will explore the usefulness of the number e and its inverse, the natural log. We will see why these are used in a variety of situations and show how they still adhere to all the same properties as other exponential bases and logarithms. 55 minutos de lección en vivo en línea

Since learning about them in high school, logarithms have been one of my favorite topics in math. As a student, I actively sought out opportunities to take courses that involved logarithms, and, as a teacher, the unit on logarithms is always one of my favorites. In addition to my love of the subject, I have the following qualifications:
-B.A. in Mathematics from Rice University
-M.A in Mathematics from University of Houston
-Texas Teaching Certificate
-almost 15 years teaching and tutoring courses that teach and/or use logarithmsReseñas
