NAME ln - logarithm function SYNOPSIS ln(x [,eps]) TYPES x nonzero real or complex eps nonzero real, defaults to epsilon() return real or complex DESCRIPTION Approximate the natural logarithm function of x by a multiple of epsilon, the error having absolute value less than 0.75 * eps. If n is a positive integer, ln(x, 10^-n) will usually be correct to the n-th decimal place.
