The natural logarithm function, represented by ln(x) or log e (x) or just log(x), is the inverse of the natural exponential function so exp(ln(x)) = x = ln(exp(x)). In Maple, the base for the log function is e, however, you can ask for base 10 in Maple with log10(x), as we shall see later. (Be careful when using e in Maple. You must input a capital E, but Maple will return a lower case e.) When mathematicians say log they always mean to base e.
