Everything about Natural logarithm

Logarithm to the base of the mathematical constant e

The natural logarithm of a number is its logarithm to the base of the mathematical constantĀ e, which is an irrational and transcendental number approximately equal to 2.718. The natural logarithm ofĀ x is generally written as ln x, loge x, or sometimes, if the baseĀ e is implicit, simply log x. Parentheses are sometimes added for clarity, giving ln(x), loge(x), or log(x). This is done particularly when the argument to the logarithm is not a single symbol, so as to prevent ambiguity.
