PROBLEM 2. WHILE LOOP Write a matlab script using a while loop structure to compute the natural log (2) using the harmonic series: Ln(2)= 1

PROBLEM 2. WHILE LOOP Write a matlab script using a while loop structure to compute the natural log (2) using the harmonic series: Ln(2)= 1 -1/2+ 1/3 1/4 + 1/5 - 1/6+ - (-1)^k/k + Notice that each term equals -(-1)^k/k, where k increases by 1 with each successive term (in other words, k =1 for the first term, k=2 for the second term, etc.). Keep adding successive terms until the series value changes by less than 0.001 (in other words when absolute value of -(-1)^k/k is less than 0.001). How many terms were added (what is the value of k)? Compare the output of the series to the output of the log command.
