Logarithm

The video tutorial introduces logarithms, focusing on their role in complexity analysis. It explains the basics of logarithmic expressions, emphasizing the importance of base 2 in computer science. Through examples, it demonstrates patterns in logarithmic values, such as how doubling a number increases the logarithm by one. The tutorial highlights the significance of logarithms in complexity analysis, showing that log n is more efficient than linear complexity. It concludes with applications in algorithms, particularly in sorting and searching, and discusses approximation techniques.
