What Is the Natural Logarithm?

The natural logarithm is the logarithm with base e. It appears naturally in calculus, growth models, and many formulas involving continuous change.

How to Calculate the Natural Logarithm

  1. Enter a positive real number.
  2. Find the exponent x such that e^x equals the number.
  3. Read the value of x as ln(x).
  4. Use the result in growth and decay formulas.
ln(x) = log base e of x
