Logarithmic Functions

Natural Logarithm. Pressing Z calculates the natural logarithm of the number in the display; that is, the logarithm to the base e.

Natural Antilogarithm. Pressing ' calculates the natural antilogarithm of the number in the display; that is, raises e to the power of that number.

Common Logarithm. Pressing o calculates the common logarithm of the number in the display; that is, the logarithm to the base 10.

Common Antilogarithm. Pressing @ calculates the common antilogarithm of the number in the display; that is, raises 10 to the power of that number.
