1. ''Options analysis''.

The natural logarithm ''ln(x)'' is the logarithm to the base ‘e’, and mathematically the inverse function of the exponential function ''e<sup>x</sup>''.
 
So for example ln(100) = 4.60517...
 
And e<sup>4.60517...</sup> = 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.)
 
 
2. ''Maths''.
 
The natural log - as used in options analysis above - is exactly the same as the concept used more broadly in maths and financial maths applications.
