What is it about the number e that makes it so that taking log to the base e is called the natural logarithm?
In: Mathematics
e^x is a special equation. For every value X, its value, its slope (how fast it’s going up), and its integral (area under the curve, or aggregate effect over time) are all e^x. This makes natural exponents and algorithms a lovely equation to pair with calculus, which is used commonly in physics, finance, and generally studying the effect of things over time.
