Jump to
Washington Irving Stringham (December 10, 1847 – October 5, 1909) was an American mathematician born in Yorkshire, New York. He was the first person to denote the natural logarithm as ln ( x ) {\\displaystyle \\ln(x)} where x {\\displaystyle x} is its argument. The use of ln ( x ) {\\displaystyle \\ln(x)} in place of log e ( x ) {\\displaystyle \\log _{e}(x)} is commonplace in digital calculators today.
