Objectives:
The student will graph exponential functions.
The student will graph logarithmic functions.
The student will solve exponential equations.

1. Go over homework and collect it.

2. Show comics -- Foxtrot

3. Show that y = ln(x) and y = e^x are inverse functions of 
   each other.

4. Graph y = e^x and y = ln(x) on the same axes. Show 
   symmetry.

5. Examples of log problems:

7. Log jokes

   (A) Lumberjacks make good musicians because of their 
       natural logarithms.

   (B) The answer to the problem was "log(1+x)". A student
       copied the answer from the good student next to him, 
       but didn't want to make it obvious that he was 
       cheating, so he changed the answer slightly, to 
       "timber(1+x)."
