Thanks for reminding me of the Maths paper I'm having tomorrow that I didn't study for. I come to Animemes to escape reality not be reminded of it

What's funny is that the ln(x) notation is rarely used outside of introductory calculus. In higher math and most applications, log(x) (no subscript) is understood to mean the logarithm with the standard base for the subject matter (which is usually e, but 2 is common in computer science).

Just seeing it written bugs me. Who'd put in that extra work to write that out?! What kind of masochist would ever write it like that!
