MTH-5107-2 – Exponential and Logarithmic Functions and Equations

In this course, learners study exponential and logarithmic functions and their characteristics (domain, range, increase, decrease, etc.), and learn to find the rules of these functions and of the inverse functions. They also have an opportunity to develop their algebraic skills by applying the properties of logarithms. Lastly, learners solve equations and problems involving exponential and logarithmic functions.
