Natural logarithms,

We did mental math. I didn't do too well; because of that, I'm going to study logs and do some questions in the green and white book. Mr Max decided to axe our third test and to defer the next onw. That comes as a great relief to me. He also gave us the answer key for the test, so we can see where we messed up.

Today's subject was natural logarithms. We approximate "e" and the natural logarithm(ln) A natural logarithm as a logarithm to the base e where e is ~ 2.718281828.

(1 + 1 / 100000) ^ 100000 = 2.71826237

We also messed around with other sequences like the Fibonacci sequence.

These strange mathematical constants are interesting.
