Logarithmic Functions

Natural Logarithm. Pressing |Z calculates the natural logarithm of
the number in the display; that is, the logarithm to the base e.

Natural Antilogarithm. Pressing ' calculates the natural antilogarithm
of the number in the display; that is, raises e to the power of that number.

Common Logarithm. Pressing | o calculates the common
logarithm of the number in the display; that is, the logarithm to the base 10.

Common Antilogarithm. Pressing @ calculates the common
