Digital BW, The Print

Thanks.  OK I think I am beginning to understand this stuff a lot more by
going through Noreman Koren's pages. I found "Why Gamma?" on this page to be
very helpful in relating film to photographic paper, and also for thinking
about the whole process of linearisation a print curve (printing a step
wedge, measuring it and linearising it).

My maths is very rusty though - I haven't done log math since highschool.
As a result I am stuck on the following sentence:

"One unit on a Log10 scale (such as Density) equals 3.32 exposure zones
(f-stops)."

Any help appreciated.
