How Not to Be Wrong: The Power of Mathematical Thinking:
In the chapter "A Note on the logarithm, and the flogartithm" (page 139) Jordan says: ln(1000)=4, ln(1mn)=7 and ln(1bn)=10.
But according to my calculator it is: ln(1000)=6.9, ln(1mn)=13.8 and ln(1bn)=20.7
Whats wrong here?

Based on the base of the logarithm that you take. Log(base10) 1000 = 4 and Log(base e) 1000 is what you were saying
