I suppose saying “natural log” invalidates the last limerick - I’ll allow it.
It's common to just use "log" in pure math, since nobody uses the base 10 log.
And everyone just uses "log" in CS because noone cares about the base.
...if you specifically want the natural one it's ln. ld for binary, base 10 is pretty much unheard of. Such an uneven number.
Fair. Logs are natural unless otherwise specified. You wouldn't put log(37) if you wanted base 10, you'd do log_10(37).
Instead of "Is the log" maybe you could say "Is nat-log"?
Or just pronounce it "lawn" like all my calculus instructors did
That one is weird to me, but maybe just because I've never heard it.
I hear it pronounced as "lawn" all the time and it pisses me off to no end. Be thankful that you don't hear it.
"is natty log of the cube root of e"
