This function
determines the natural logarithm of a number.
There are two types
of logarithms widely in use. They are the "natural logarithm" and the
"base 10 logarithm". Most scientific calculators can do both. To
distinguish between them, they use the terminology ln() for the natural
logarithm and log() for the base 10 logarithm. The inverse functions are
e^x and 10^x respectively. abcDB, however, only supports the natural
logarithm. In abcDB, Log() is the natural logarithm.
