| | |
| 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.
