I hope the strange math of logarithms is starting to make sense: multiplication of growth becomes addition of time, division of growth becomes subtraction of time. Don’t memorize the rules, understand them. ... Your article was very useful and helped me better understand the natural logarithm. Thanks! Julien.

(M-18) Natural Logarithms ... If the base is not 10, this useful feature is lost and logarithms of numbers with the same digits but different positions of the decimal point (e.g. 1492 and 14.92) give completely different logarithms. Nevertheless, sometimes a different base also has an advantage.

Logarithms were invented independently by John Napier, a Scotsman, and by Joost Burgi, a Swiss. The logarithms which they invented differed from each other and from the common and natural logarithms now in use. Napier's logarithms were published in 1614; ... Logarithms are useful in many fields from finance to astronomy.

A logarithm can have any positive value as its base, but two log bases are more useful than the others. ... Mercator (not the map guy) used a Latin form of the term, "log naturalis" in his 1668 book on logarithms, and, as of the late 1800s, various English-speakers were using the notation "log.nat." for the natural logarithm.

The tables of logarithms most useful in computations use a base of 10. ... There is a series for calculating logarithms. This gives values for logarithms to base e. e has the value of 2.71828183.... Logarithms to base e are called Natural Logarithms (or Naperian Logarithms after their European discoverer).
