how does natural logarithm evolved (why choosing the value e)???

Thanks in advance
 

kathiprime,

how does natural logarithm evolved (why choosing the value e)???

Easy question to answer. The derivative of the natural log number raised to any power is its own value. In other words, d(e^x)/dx = e^x . No other number has this "natural" property. It is especially useful in problems involving calculus.
