\displaystyle{
\naturallog \ln(a)
\plain =
\timetogrow \int _{1}^{a}
\unitInterest {\frac {1}{x}} dx
}
\displaystyle{
\naturallog \ln(
\growth{e}
\naturallog )
\plain =
\unitTime 1
}

\naturallog The natural log
\plain is
\timetogrow the time to grow from 1 to a value
\
\plain using
\unitInterest 100\% continuous interest.
\
\growth e is the number
\plain that takes
\naturallog the natural logarithm
\
\unitTime 1 unit of time to reach.
