TEXT:16,the exponent that raises a number, called the base, to a specific power.
TEXT:16,A natural logarithm is the exponent that raises a base number of
TEXT:16,2.71828 (approximately) to a specific power. For example, log(27) will
TEXT:16,return a value of 3.29584. If you were to raise 2.71828 to the power of
TEXT:16,3.29584 by using power(), you would get back a value of 26.9999. log()
TEXT:16,can handle both atoms and sequences in the same fashion sqrt() can,
TEXT:16,returning a value that is stored in a receiving variable, named    here.
