What is LN? (Example problem requested)
What is LN in math, and how do you solve the LN of something?

Refresh his memory, please? x.x
EDIT: Durr, posted while I typed. Thanks! Y.Y
Lemme make sure I have this clarified.
Let's make A = 27 and B = 3.
(can't use latex here)
Loga = B
Log(27) = 3
E^3=27
E = 3
Is this right, or am I confused?
Give me an example problem, step by step, please. >_<

That's quite possible, I tried translating it from my languageLoren Booda said:TD,
Isn't that spelled "Naperian" logarithm?
LN stands for "natural logarithm." It is a mathematical function that is the inverse of the exponential function. It is commonly used in calculus and other branches of mathematics to solve equations and model real-world phenomena.
LN uses the base e, which is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 2.71828. Log base 10 uses the base 10. This means that LN gives the logarithm of a number with respect to e, while log base 10 gives the logarithm of a number with respect to 10.
The natural exponential function, denoted as e^x, is the inverse of the natural logarithm. In other words, LN and the natural exponential function "undo" each other. This is why they are often used together in mathematical equations.
LN is used in a variety of fields, including finance, physics, engineering, and biology. It can be used to model population growth, radioactive decay, and the spread of diseases. In finance, it is used to calculate compound interest and in statistics, it is used to measure the spread of data.
The domain of LN is all positive real numbers, while the range is all real numbers. This means that any positive number can be input into the LN function, and the output will be a real number. However, the natural logarithm of 0 is undefined.
