Uma proposta para o aprofundamento do ensino de logaritmos: as escalas logarítmicas.

Abstract

We sought, in the development of this work, to propose a more didactic approach to logarithms for high school teachers and students, taking in consideration logarithmic scales. We begin by briefly recounting the history of some pioneers in the subject and their contributions to its development. After introducing the natural logarithm, we delve into the main theorems concerning logarithmic and exponential functions. Then, we present some applications of logarithmic scales for the study of certain magnitudes, and finally, we conclude by suggesting some proposals for didactic sequences to be applied in the classroom.
