LN(n)
- where is the positive real number.
is the positive real number.Description
- This function gives the Natural Logarithm of a number.
- is the logarithm in which the base is the irrational number (= 2.71828...).
- For example, Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle ln_10 = loge_10 \approx 2.30258}
