Never seen that being used for log_e.

Definition of Logarithm from MathWorld:

Quote:Note that while logarithm base 10 is denoted \(\log x\) in this work, on calculators, and in elementary algebra and calculus textbooks, mathematicians and advanced mathematics texts uniformly use the notation \(\log x\) to mean \(\ln x\), and therefore use \(\log_{10} x\) to mean the common logarithm. Extreme care is therefore needed when consulting the literature.
