Assuming you mean 'logarithm to the base 'e' ( natural logarithm. On the calculator its symbol is 'ln'. Hence ;ln 2 = 0.69314718....
The natural logarithm (ln) is used when you have log base e
Log is a logarithm with any arbitrary base, for example log_10 100=2. Ln is a logarithm with a base of e(Euler's number), which is 2.71828 18284 59045 23536...
Take the natural logarithm (ln) of both sides of the equation to cancel the exponent (e). For example, ify=Aexlog transform both sides and apply the rules of logarithms:ln(y)=ln(Aex)ln(y)=ln(A)+ln(ex)ln(y)=ln(A)+xrearrange in terms of x:x=ln(y)-ln(A), or more simplyx=ln(y/A)
ln() the ln stands for the Latin logarithmus naturali, or natural log in English. loge() is also acceptable but more tedious and rarely used.
