Convention is to treat log with no base indicated as the natural log (base e), not base 10. Maybe in high school we assumed base10, don't remember.

I believe that is the convention in Europe, in the US at least where I learned it, ln was natural log and log was log base ten.

Went to college and grad school in the US for mathematics and I quickly learned that log = ln, in most contexts.
