math.log(num) finds the logarithm of num in the base of natural number e, math.log10(num) finds the logarithm of num in the base of 10.

"Returns the natural logarithm of x."

There you go, that's what it does. It explains perfectly.

Its actually not that hard to understand with a certain level of education.
You need to learn about this stuff in school before youll be able to understand it here.

Well, I've been able to simulate aeronautic physics with nothing more complex than multiplication and division, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

@Crazy
One thing I don't like about your planes is that...
First of all you can't look sideways.
Second is that sometimes when you try to turn it kinda glitches and turns up then turns
But It's still the best planes on roblox. :3

math.log(x) would be the natural logarithm, which is represented by the number "e", but base 10 logs are a lot simpler. A logarithm is basically the inverse of an exponent. I'll give you an example. Assuming you're dealing with Base 10 logs for now, then since 2^3=8 then log base 2 of 8 = 3. You'll see the 2 written closer to the bottom.. Pretty easy, until you deal with natural logs.

The only reason I know it is because I took Accelerated Algebra 2/Trig last year. Hardest math class I've ever taken. Until next semester, I take Pre-Calc. OGOD.
