Question

Why is the natural log function "ln" is absent in wolfram? it always uses "log"....

Answer 1

Like for example:
http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=ln%28x%29

Answer 2

or is it meant to be just \(\large\color{teal}{ \log_e }\) ?

Answer 3

if you use log it defaults to natural log

Answer 4

well i guess they prefer using logs instead of ln.. beside dont you get the same ourput?

Answer 5

ln(x) is not the same thing as log(x), you know that better than me....

Answer 6

TuringTest's reasoning seems to be legit:)

Answer 7

some people use ln so much they just call it log, and I guess mr wolfram is one of those people lol
if you want to control the base type log_2(2)

Answer 8

or log_x(y)

Answer 9

I know how to control tnx base, tnx;) if you need a question about how to put integrals sigmas and anything inline, I can assist:P

Answer 10

people mostly think that you can't do this: \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \sum_{ n=1 }^{ \infty } ~ f(n)}\)

Answer 11

oh thanks, I'm sure i'll need help from time to time
im gonna guess it is similar to latex, but i'm sure id have to play with it

Answer 12

`\(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \sum_{ n=1 }^{ \infty } ~ f(n)}\)`
is the sigma code

Answer 13

for latex you mean

Answer 14

Yes, turing;)
@Marki, you need this, use it. Inline sigma, very good for you

Answer 15

sum j^2, j=1 to 1000
would work on wolfy :)

Answer 16

yes, but to get a better vision and think good of yourself,
```
\(\large\color{black}{\displaystyle\lim_{x \rightarrow ~a}f(x)}\) LIMIT

\(\large\color{black}{\displaystyle\int\limits_{~}^{~}~~~dx}\) INTEGRAL

\(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \sum_{ n=1 }^{ \infty } ~ f(n)}\) SIGMA
```

Answer 17

thanks solmon :)
the thing is im too lazy to write :P

Answer 18

(they are all completely blank, if that is inconvenient, sorry)

Answer 19

anyway, this is not meant to be a latex tutorial;)
tnx for viewing....

Answer 20

any question now are available though here or in messages.

Answer 21

I can make an attempt to put a cube

Answer 22

ok here is one thing
the default log in wolfram is ln :) (base e not 10)

Answer 23

lost connection and the cube

Answer 24

oh, there is no simple trick:
doesn't work with \angle{} \text{ ___}
but I can make a square though
\(\normalsize\color{ slate }{\Huge{\bbox[5pt, lightcyan ,border:2px solid black ]{ \color{lightcyan}{\LARGE\frac{~~\frac{~}{~~~\frac{~\frac{}{}~}{~\frac{~}{~}}~~~~}~~~}{~\frac{\frac{~}{~\frac{~\frac{}{~}}{~}}~~}{~}~~} } }}}\)

Answer 25

okay, done

Answer 26

yes, marki base e, what I asked to be an option at the beginnn, tnx

Answer 27

\(\normalsize\color{ slate }{\Huge{\bbox[5pt, lightcyan ,border:2px solid black ]{ \color{lightcyan}{\LARGE\frac{~~\frac{~}{~~~\frac{~\frac{}{}~}{~\frac{~}{~}}~~~~}~~~}{~\frac{\frac{~}{~\frac{~\frac{}{~}}{~}}~~}{~}~~} } }}} \)

NICE!
