Frequently Asked Questions

A common logarithm uses base 10. If a mathematical formula just says 'log(x)' without specifying a base, it usually implies base 10.
A natural logarithm uses Euler's number 'e' (approximately 2.71828) as its base. It is heavily used in calculus, physics, and compounding interest calculations.
No. In the real number system, the logarithm of a negative number or zero is undefined. The input number must always be strictly greater than zero.
