This activity practices solving exponential equations using natural logarithms.
Activity Directions: Students have to solve 12 equations. All correct answers (expressions with natural logarithms) and also incorrect are labeled with big Latin letters and typed in table 1. Students are asked to use this table and table 2 with mathematicians’ names so to find the mathematician’s name corresponding to each of their answers. If students solve all the equations correctly, they will learn 12 mathematicians involved in history of logarithms.
This activity can be used as a group activity. Students could compete to see who can get all or most names first. It can be also used as a partner activity as well (each partner will solve 6 problems).
Answer keys are provided.
