Full Transcript

We typically define ln(x), the natural logarithm of x, by first defining the exponential function of x, noting that this is a 1:1 function, and then defining ln(x) as the inverse function to exponential. In this video we go the other way around. We define ln(x) as a particular integral, and then use that to give a new definition of e. This integral definition of logarithm has several advantages such as being able to be approximated nicely and easily proves that the logarithm function is differential. We also recover standard properties such as ln(ab) =ln(a)+ln(b).
