“Logarithms provide a way to work with the inverses of exponential functions. Exponential functions model what some might call “explosive” growth, but logarithmic values grow very slowly. Decibels are logarithms that measure sound, and when sound energy increases dramatically, the decibel values creep upward. A few extra decibels can bust your eardrums!”
