SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the proof that ln(e) = 1, which is a fundamental property of natural logarithms. The natural logarithm, denoted as ln, is defined as the logarithm to the base e, where e is approximately 2.71828. The proof relies on the definition of the natural logarithm and the properties of exponents, specifically that e^1 = e. Thus, by definition, ln(e) equals 1.
