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
You could y=e^x the “natural exponent” instead of “exponent of x base e” which is correct. But we have a faster way of saying this “e to the x”
x=ln(y) is the reverse of that function and is called the “natural logarithm” instead of “logarithm of y base e”.
Humans like to say things quickly when we have to say things a lot.
