Use of a series to derive ln(1.01) gives
.01 - .0001/2 + .000001/3 - .00000001/4 + ...
~= .00995033... where successive modifications come after these 8 decimal places.
On the other side, for 2/201 = 1/100.5 = 10/1005:
.00995024 -----------1005 )10.00000000 9 045 ----- 9550 9045 ---- 5050 5025 ---- 2500 2010 ---- 4900
So ln(1.01) is larger.
