The natural logarithm is the exponent, x, indicating the power
which the base, e, must be raised to in order to produce a
given number, a.
The calculator uses e=2.718281828459, although it only
displays 2.718281828 on the screen.
ln( returns the natural logarithm of a positive real number, an
expression that results in a positive real number, or a list of
positive real numbers.
