Logarithm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, the logarithm of a number to a given base is the power or exponent to which the base must be raised in order to produce the number. For example, the logarithm of 1000 to the base 10 ...

The system of natural logarithms has the number called "e" as its base. (e is named after the 18th century Swiss mathematician, Leonhard Euler.) e is the base used in calculus. It is called the "natural" ... To indicate the natural logarithm of a number, we use the notation "ln." ... Problem 10. What number is ln e ?

This last statement justifies calling the natural logarithm "the logarithm with the base e" and writing in more conventional terms ln(a) = log e(a). For example, e 0 = 1 so, ln(1) = 0 and e1=e so ln(e) = 1. In general ln(e a) = a , which merely restates part (b) of the theorem.
