It's incorrect in the context of some authors, usually of secondary or undergraduate textbooks and teachers grading from those books, but it is accepted as meaning not just base 10 or base e, but also base 2 or an arbitrary base in different contexts. The only "global" math standard I know of is ISO 80000-2 and I don't believe it proscribes any use of log (though it has its own names, ln/lb/lg) undo

I took out the 2 in the last expression there, because if x^2=3, then x = the square root of 3. undo Tag: Visual edit
