∫₁² 1/x dx = ln(2) − ln(1) = ln 2 ≈ 0.6931. This is the definition of natural log: ln(a) is the area under 1/x from 1 to a.
1 − 1/2 + 1/3 − 1/4 + ... converges to ln 2 ≈ 0.6931, oscillating around the limit. Convergence is slow: every other term overshoots.
N(t) = N₀ · 2^(−t/t½) = N₀ · e^(−t·ln2/t½). ln 2 ≈ 0.693 is the decay constant. After 1 half-life: 50% remains. After 10: 0.1%.
Logaritma Natural 2 is irrational. Its decimal expansion never ends and never repeats. Every digit shown below is computed from the deret harmonik berselang-seling.
