:Not to butt in ahead of JacobB, but it was pretty much assumed in the calc courses I've taken. It might be good to add a note to that effect, though. --[[User:EvanW|EvanW]] 11:52, 4 January 2010 (EST)

My experience is that mathematicians use log or ln ("lawn") for natural logs, since we never use log<small>10</small> at all, and physicists use ln for natural log and log for log<small>10</small>.
It would probably be best to use ln for natural log to avoid confusion - my consistent use of log is a result of my long-time use of it for natural log, and the thing is, it's too ingrained of a habit to break now, so I'm probably going to keep using log. If it matters so much to somebody, they're welcome to change it. [[User:JacobB|JacobB]] 19:33, 4 January 2010 (EST)
