  2. Natural logarithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_logarithm

    The natural logarithm of a number is its logarithm to the base of the mathematical constant e, which is an irrational and transcendental number approximately equal to 2.718 281 828 459. [1] The natural logarithm of x is generally written as ln x, log e x, or sometimes, if the base e is implicit, simply log x.

  3. e (mathematical constant) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_(mathematical_constant)

    The number e is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 2.71828 that is the base of the natural logarithm and exponential function.It is sometimes called Euler's number, after the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler, though this can invite confusion with Euler numbers, or with Euler's constant, a different constant typically denoted .

  4. Euler's constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_constant

    The area of the blue region converges to Euler's constant. Euler's constant (sometimes called the Euler–Mascheroni constant) is a mathematical constant, usually denoted by the lowercase Greek letter gamma (γ), defined as the limiting difference between the harmonic series and the natural logarithm, denoted here by log:

  5. Logarithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithm

    The derivative of ln(x) is 1/x; this implies that ln(x) is the unique antiderivative of 1/x that has the value 0 for x = 1. It is this very simple formula that motivated to qualify as "natural" the natural logarithm; this is also one of the main reasons of the importance of the constant e.

  6. List of logarithmic identities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_logarithmic_identities

    The harmonic numbers are a fundamental sequence in number theory and analysis, known for their logarithmic growth. This result leverages the fact that the sum of the inverses of integers (i.e., harmonic numbers) can be closely approximated by the natural logarithm function, plus a constant, especially when extended over large intervals.

  7. Log-normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log-normal_distribution

    A probability distribution is not uniquely determined by the moments E[X n] = e nμ + ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ n 2 σ 2 for n ≥ 1. That is, there exist other distributions with the same set of moments. [4] In fact, there is a whole family of distributions with the same moments as the log-normal distribution. [citation needed]

  8. Chebyshev function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebyshev_function

    The second Chebyshev function can be seen to be related to the first by writing it as = ⁡where k is the unique integer such that p k ≤ x and x < p k + 1.The values of k are given in OEIS: A206722.

  9. Exponential function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_function

    Exponential functions with bases 2 and 1/2. In mathematics, the exponential function is the unique real function which maps zero to one and has a derivative equal to its value. . The exponential of a variable ⁠ ⁠ is denoted ⁠ ⁡ ⁠ or ⁠ ⁠, with the two notations used interchangeab
