Logarithms... :(

I've been hunting around for some information to answer my question, but at no avail... as far as understandability goes... I am student in his freshmen year, just finishing Geometry, our teacher has said nothing about the log( function on the calculator, and after expirimenting, I have no idea what it does... I realize there is the e^(pi*i)+1=0 topic already near the top of the page, but I've read through, and found no help.

What are logarithms, what are they used for, and as a geometry student, what would I find them useful for? Keep it a bit lower level, for this is the reason I didn't simply look my answer up on wikipedia, or google... a bunch of scary theorems/postulates I know nothing of. I appreciate any help.
