: It is
known that exponential functions are one of the most general functions for
calculus and science. It has widespread use in both mathematics and science.
(It can be used in the modeling of many events such as population growth,
compound interest calculation, investment increase, earthquake, etc.).
Therefore, it is not possible to think of logarithms independent of the above.
For this reason, it would not be wrong to say that exponential operations are
among the major issues in the early 1500s and early 1600s. John Napier
(1550-1617), Henry Briggs (1551-1630) and Joost Bürgi (1552-1632) are the
scientists among those dealing with exponential processing with this approach. Napier and Bürgi are generally known with the invention of
exponential functions, what they actually created is quite different from
modern exponential functions. Also known as logarithms, exponential functions
are used in many different disciplines, from calculus to probability,
statistic, astronomy, physics, chemistry etc. Napier developed his logarithm
theory based upon algebra, while Bürgi developed his based on geometry. The
commonly known exponential function is defined as a base number with a raised
exponent, also known as a power. They have
also been engaged in logarithm and antilogarithm, and have made the basis for
today's logarithm phenomena and tables.
In this study, irrational function suggestion (S(x))
rather than function which is used as exponential function has been emphasized
and a general irrational function has been obtained and the results obtained
with both functions are compared.
