Java program to calculate the value of natural log ln(x) using series

Give a real number x greater than 0 and an integer n greater than 0, write a Java program to calculate the value of natural log ln(x) using the first n terms of the series.

Using two approaches to solve this problem:
- 1. Method 1 is brute force without any optimisations
- 2. Method 2 is a faster method using  optimisations

The two methods are tested by verifying the values generated for the same x agains the value generate by Math.log() function.
