The ln calculator allows to calculate online the natural logarithm of a number.

Napierian logarithm function

The napierian logarithm function is defined for any number belonging to the interval ]0,`+oo`[, it notes ln. The napierian logarithm is also called natural logarithm.

The logarithm calculator allows calculation of this type of logarithm online.

Calculation of the napierian logarithm

For the calculation of napierian logarithm of a number, just enter the number and apply the function ln. Thus, for calculating napierian logarithm of the number 1, you must enter ln(`1`) or directly 1, if the button ln already appears, the result 0 is returned.

Derivative of napierian logarithm

The derivative of the napierian logarithm is equal to `1/x`.

Calculate chain rule of derivatives with napierian logarithm

If u is a differentiable function, the chain rule of derivatives with the napierian logarithm function and the function u is calculated using the following formula : (ln(u(x))'=`(u'(x))/(u(x))`, the derivative calculator can perform this type of calculation as this example shows calculating the derivative of ln(4x+3).

Antiderivative of napierian logarithm

The antiderivative of the napierian logarithm is equal to `x*ln(x)-x`.

Limits of napierian logarithm

The limits of the napierian logarithm exist at `0` and `+oo`:
• The napierian logarithm function has a limit in `0` which is `-oo`.
`lim_(x->0)ln(x)=-oo`
• The napierian logarithm function has a limit in `+oo` which is `+oo`.
`lim_(x->+oo)ln(x)=+oo`

The natural logarithm of the product of two positive numbers is equal to the sum of the natural logarithm of these two numbers. We can thus deduce the following properties:

• `ln(a*b)=ln(a)+ln(b)`
• `ln(a/b)=ln(a)-ln(b)`
• `ln(a^m)=m*ln(a)`

The calculator makes it possible to use these properties to calculate logarithmic expansions.

Syntax :
