These are logs to base 10...possibly your "common logs"?

We can do logs to any base. The following are logs to base2... written by me as log_2:

Now one particular number is 2.7182818284590.... is a number that goes on forever...has no end, so how can we write it? Well, we give it a "name", calling it e.

When the log base is the number e, these are called natural logs, since a lot of things in nature follow the mathematical curve of

Natural logs are written as ln, eg ln(10) = 2.302585...

Hope this helps.
