Abstract
This study is on the introduction of the natural logarithm by the quadrature of the hyperbola. In School mathematics curriculum, Logarithm is introduced formally. But in that introduction, students could't know the meaning of the natural logarithm and e well. Historically, natural logarithm is related to the quadrature of the hyperbola. So in this study we consider the introduction of the natural logarithm by the means of quadrature of the hyperbola and the significance of the introduction.
