The natural logarithm, often denoted as ln, is is a mathematical function that represents the ogarithm to the base e,where is the mathematical constant approximately equal to 2.71828.In other words, for a positive number x, the natural logarithm of x is the exponent y that satisfies the equation ey=x.
Mathematically, the natural logarithm is expressed as:
ln(𝑥)
It is commonly used in various branches of mathematics, especially in calculus and mathematical analysis, as well as in fields such as physics, economics, and engineering. The natural logarithm has properties that make it particularly useful in situations involving exponential growth or decay.
