Because when the system of logarithms with the base 'e' was defined and
tabulated, it was entitled with the identifying label of "Natural Logarithms".
----------------------------------
My improvement: The natural log base is e (a numerical constant of about 2.718). It is chosen as a log base since there is a mathematical series (a "string" of mathematical numerical terms to be summed) for calculating a logarithm (ie. exponent of the base) of a number, which has a base of e. Series for calculating logarithms with bases other than e have basically not been developed.
log 100 base e = log 100 base 10 / log e base 10 log 100 base 10 = 10g 10^2 base 10 = 2 log 10 base 10 = 2 log e base 10 = 0.434294 (calculator) log 100 base e = 2/0.434294 = 4.605175
log2x = log x / log 2 On the right side, you can use logarithm in any base (calculators usually provide base-10 and base-e), just be sure to use the same base in both cases. Thus: log2x = ln x / ln 2 or: log2x = log10x / log102
Ever heard of calculator?? log to base 10 = 0.0367087, natural log, 0.08452495
It means the logarithm to the base e. The number "e" is approximately 2.71828... In other words, if you ask, for instance, "what's the natural logarithm of 100", that's equivalent to asking "to what number must I raise 'e', to get the answer 100". The solution of the equation e^x = 100 in this example.
Use the change of base formula. The change of base formula goes like this: logbx = (logx)/(logb) the logs on the right side can be any base, though you should probably use log10 because that's what your calculator will use.

The natural logarithm (ln) is used when you have log base e
ln means loge. e is about 2.718281828
Natural Log; It's a logarithm with a base of e, a natural constant.
ln is the natural logarithm. That is it is defined as log base e. As we all know from school, log base 10 of 10 = 1 just as log base 3 of 3 = 1, so, likewise, log base e of e = 1 and 1.x = x. so we have ln y = x. Relace ln with log base e, and you should get y = ex
log 100 base e = log 100 base 10 / log e base 10 log 100 base 10 = 10g 10^2 base 10 = 2 log 10 base 10 = 2 log e base 10 = 0.434294 (calculator) log 100 base e = 2/0.434294 = 4.605175
A "natural logarithm" is a logarithm to the base e, notto the base 10. Base 10 is sometimes called "common logarithm". The number e is approximately 2.71828.
log base e = ln.
The natural logarithm is calculated to base e, where e is Euler's constant. For any number, x loge(x) = log10(x)/log10(e)
"Log" is short for Logarithm and can be to any base.The Logarithm of a number is the number to which the base has to be raised to get that number; that is why there are no logarithms for negative numbers. For example: 10² = 100 → log to base 10 of 100 is 2.There are two specific abbreviations:lg is the log to base 10ln is the log to base e - e is Euler's number and is approximately 2.71828184; logs to base e are known as natural logs.On an electronic calculator the [log] button takes logarithms to base 10. The inverse function (anti-log) is marked as 10^x.Similarly the [ln] button takes logs to base e, with the inverse function marked as e^x.
By Euler's formula, e^ix = cosx + i*sinx Taking natural logarithms, ix = ln(cosx + i*sinx) When x = pi/2, i*pi/2 = ln(i) But ln(i) = log(i)/log(e) where log represents logarithms to base 10. That is, i*pi/2 = log(i)/log(e) And therefore log(i) = i*pi/2*log(e) = i*0.682188 or 0.682*i to three decimal places.
The natural log of a number is some other number such that if you take e (2.718281828...) and raise it to that other number you would get the first number. Another way to say this is that a natural log is a log with base e. The common log of a number is some other number such that if you take 10 and raise it to that other number you would get the first number. The natural log base, e, is a special transcendental number, chosen so that the derivative (respect to x) of ex is equal to ex . In other words, the slope of a tangent line to the curve y = ex at point (x, ex) is equal to ex for all x
