The Napierian logarithm, as first defined by John Napier, is a function which can be defined in terms of the modern logarithm by:
(Being a quotient of logarithms, the base of the logarithm chosen is irrelevant.)
It is not a logarithm to any particular base in the modern sense of the term, however, it can be rewritten as:
