Do you remember your high school math teacher talking about logarithms? Maybe you did not have a clear picture of it. Maybe you did not understand it in the beginning or were a bit annoyed. Why are we learning something that we will probably never use in real-life in the first place?
You may be right. You may not need to use them directly in your life, but it may be interesting to understand their importance. Logarithms are used in a lot of disciplines, especially in Machine Learning.
If you are still reading up to this paragraph, I believe you are interested in understanding the reason.
I have recently published an article about this in TowardsDataScience, which you can read using this friendly link.
I have included two simple analogies, as I believe they can help in having a better understanding in comparison to a complete page of formal definition and math equations.
Happy learning!
