The natural base, e, 2.718281828..., was selected because the derivatived/dx ex is equal to x. This simplifies many calculations, derivatives, integrals, etc.
Additional:
This base is used because there is a series (of terms) for powers of (e), therefore, powers of any value can be found just by plugging in values in the series.

What is a natural logarithm used for?
The natural logarithm (ln) is used when you have log base e
What is the logarithm of 1.5?
The logarithm of 1.5 is approximately 0.1760912591... Your logarithm is base 10, and the natural logarithm of 1.5 (base e), is approximately 0.4054651081... Example base: 8 Approximately: 0.1949875002...
What is the logarithm of 1.0?
Zero, in logs to base 10, base e, or any base.
What is difference between natural logarithm and log base 10?
The natural logarithm is calculated to base e, where e is Euler's constant. For any number, x loge(x) = log10(x)/log10(e)
Logarithm of 1 to the base 1?
The logarithm of 1 to the base 1 is indeterminate. The logarithm of a number x to the base a is a number y, such that ay = x. The most common base a is 10, or the natural base a is e (2.718281828...). It is invalid to think of logarithms base 1, because 1 to the power of anything is still 1.
