Notational Conventions
The notations "ln x" and "loge x" both refer unambiguously to the natural logarithm of x.
"log x" without an explicit base may also refer to the natural logarithm. This usage is common in mathematics and some scientific contexts as well as in many programming languages. "log x" is frequently used to denote the common (base 10) logarithm, however.

Famous quotes containing the word conventions:
“I find nothing healthful or exalting in the smooth conventions of society. I do not like the close air of saloons. I begin to suspect myself to be a prisoner, though treated with all this courtesy and luxury. I pay a destructive tax in my conformity.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
