The function ln x is interpreted as the natural logarithm base e. Logarithms to other bases are entered with a subscript on the function log. Thus, evaluation gives log525 = 2 and log10103 = 3. The symbol log x is interpreted as the natural logarithm (base e) unless you make a change in the Maple Settings dialog.
To change the default for the function name log from base e to base 10
All logarithmic functions are converted symbolically to natural logarithms by evaluation as follows.
Evaluate
log10x =6pt
log2x =6pt
logx = -
12pt
Thus, the behavior of the system for natural logarithms is of particular
interest.
