Options analysis.

The natural logarithm ln(x) is the logarithm to the base ‘e’, and mathematically the inverse function of the exponential function ex.

So for example ln(100) = 4.60517...

And e4.60517... = 100


Also known for short as the 'natural log'.

Also sometimes known - loosely - as the 'Napierian logarithm'.

(Not to be confused with Lognormal, which is different.)
