Specialized graph papers including logarithmic and polar coordinate systems.

Log is short for logarithmic, this graph paper is used to plot data where the values change exponentially. That is the values go up and down drastically very quickly. This graph paper has sections that compress large ranges of values allowing you to plot large and small numbers while still being able to see everything.

A traditional grid with horizontal and vertical lines is designed to plot Cartesian coordinates where a location is represented with a horizontal and vertical location. Polar coordinates represent another coordinate system where a location is specified by the angle and distance from a fixed point. This graph paper allows you to plot those points.
