I hear logarithms mentioned quite a lot in the programming context. They seem to be the solution to many problems and yet I can't seem to find a real-world way of making use of them. I've read the Wikipedia entry and that, quite frankly, leaves me none...

Does not have a PRODUCT() aggregate function, so this was accomplished using a sum of the logarithms to be positive and non-zero (you cannot calculate a logarithm on a negative number or zero).

For example, math theory, graph logic.
Everyone around tell me that math is necessary for programmer. I saw a lot of threads where people say that they used linear algebra and some other math, but no one described concrete cases when they used it.
I know...

When doing proofs, you have to connect properties, not apply .
For instance, I can never remember logarithm rules, but I know what logarithms are, so mathematics struggle with proof-based math.
Principles can help.
