Best Answer

Euler came up with the log, and being Swiss, would've spoken french. In French the natural log would be le logarithme naturel, and his notation would've just caught on. I might be wrong, I've not really looked this up, just seems like a logical assumption...

How do you find logarithms using a calculator?

If you are using a scientific calculator you will have a key labelled "log". To find the logarithm (to base 10) of a number, simply enter "log" followed by the number that you want to log. If you want a natural logarithm - log to the base e - use the "ln" key instead. If you haven't got a scientific calculator, use the one on your computer.
