The word mathematics comes from Ancient Greek máthēma (μάθημα), meaning "that which is learnt", [7] "what one gets to know", hence also "study" and "science". The word came to have the narrower and more technical meaning of "mathematical study" even in Classical times.

The natural logarithm of x is generally written as ln x, log e x, or sometimes, if the base e is implicit, simply log x. [2] [3] Parentheses are sometimes added for clarity, giving ln(x), log e (x), or log(x). This is done particularly when the argument to the logarithm is not a single symbol, so as to prevent ambiguity.
Business mathematics comprises mathematics credits taken at an undergraduate level by business students. The course [3] is often organized around the various business sub-disciplines, including the above applications, and usually includes a separate module on interest calculations; the mathematics itself comprises mainly algebraic techniques.

In 1827, George Bentham published his Outline of a New System of Logic: With a Critical Examination of Dr. Whately's Elements of Logic, describing the principle of the quantifier, but the book was not widely circulated. [13] Augustus De Morgan (1806–1871) was the first to use "quantifier" in the modern sense.
The number e is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 2.71828 that can be characterized in many ways. It is the base of the natural logarithm function. It is the limit of (+ /) as n tends to infinity, an expression that arises in the computation of compound interest.
