The natural logarithm of a number is its logarithm to the base of the mathematical constant $e$ , which is an irrational and transcendental number approximately equal to $2.718 281828459$ . The natural logarithm of $x$ is generally written as $ln x$ , $log e x$ , or sometimes, if the base $e$ is implicit, simply $log x$ . 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.

In mathematics, hyperbolic functions are analogues of the ordinary trigonometric functions, but defined using the hyperbola rather than the circle. Just as the points $(cos t, sin t)$ form a circle with a unit radius, the points $(cosh t, sinh t)$ form the right half of the unit hyperbola. Also, similarly to how the derivatives of $sin(t)$ and $cos(t)$ are $cos(t)$ and $-sin(t)$ respectively, the derivatives of $sinh(t)$ and $cosh(t)$ are $cosh(t)$ and $+sinh(t)$ respectively.

In mathematics, the Lambert $W$ function, also called the omega function or product logarithm, is a multivalued function, namely the branches of the converse relation of the function $f (w) = we w$ , where $w$ is any complex number and $e w$ is the exponential function.

Integration is the basic operation in integral calculus. While differentiation has straightforward rules by which the derivative of a complicated function can be found by differentiating its simpler component functions, integration does not, so tables of known integrals are often useful. This page lists some of the most common antiderivatives.

In mathematics, a Gaussian function, often simply referred to as a Gaussian, is a function of the base form

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Improper integral</span> Concept in mathematical analysis

In mathematical analysis, an improper integral is an extension of the notion of a definite integral to cases that violate the usual assumptions for that kind of integral. In the context of Riemann integrals, this typically involves unboundedness, either of the set over which the integral is taken or of the integrand, or both. It may also involve bounded but not closed sets or bounded but not continuous functions. While an improper integral is typically written symbolically just like a standard definite integral, it actually represents a limit of a definite integral or a sum of such limits; thus improper integrals are said to converge or diverge. If a regular definite integral is worked out as if it is improper, the same answer will result.

In mathematics, the inverse trigonometric functions are the inverse functions of the trigonometric functions. Specifically, they are the inverses of the sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant functions, and are used to obtain an angle from any of the angle's trigonometric ratios. Inverse trigonometric functions are widely used in engineering, navigation, physics, and geometry.

In mathematics, the inverse hyperbolic functions are inverses of the hyperbolic functions, analogous to the inverse circular functions. There are six in common use: inverse hyperbolic sine, inverse hyperbolic cosine, inverse hyperbolic tangent, inverse hyperbolic cosecant, inverse hyperbolic secant, and inverse hyperbolic cotangent. They are commonly denoted by the symbols for the hyperbolic functions, prefixed with arc- or ar-.

The integral of secant cubed is a frequent and challenging indefinite integral of elementary calculus:

In calculus, the integral of the secant function can be evaluated using a variety of methods and there are multiple ways of expressing the antiderivative, all of which can be shown to be equivalent via trigonometric identities,

Euler substitution is a method for evaluating integrals of the form
