Logarithms

Napierian logarithm

The term Napierian logarithm or Naperian logarithm, named after John Napier, is often used to mean the natural logarithm. Napier did not introduce this natural logarithmic function, although it is named after him. However, if it is taken to mean the "logarithms" as originally produced by Napier, it is a function given by (in terms of the modern natural logarithm): The Napierian logarithm satisfies identities quite similar to the modern logarithm, such as or In Napier's 1614 Mirifici Logarithmorum Canonis Descriptio, he provides tables of logarithms of sines for 0 to 90°, where the values given (columns 3 and 5) are (Wikipedia).

Defining the Natural Logarithm as an Integral?!?!?

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, an
