Hello!

As an occasional mathematican, I sometimes forget that i.e.

Log[x/y] is very similar to Log[x] / Log[y]

Is there some way in Mathematica to see how an mathematical
expression could look like alternatively?  (Something like the  opposite
of Simplify.)

And then I wonder why 

Log[x/y] === Log[x] - Log[y]

is False.  Can I instruct Mathematica to explain why this is False?

Best wishes,

Sven
