The formal way of writing a logarithm is the following:


\log _ab

Where "a" is the base of the logarithm and "b2 is the argument.

If "a = 10", then the base is not written, like this:


\log _(10)b=\log b

In the case that the base is the constant number "e" then the logarithm is called a "natural logarithm" and it is written as follows:


\log _eb=\ln b
