Maximum log likelihood ?

Dear TAs,

I'm struggling to understand where the log comes from.

Is this the maximum likelihood or the maximum log likelihood?

Thank you in advance :))

maximum log likelihood

Note that maximum likelihood and maximum log(arithm) (of the) likelihood yield the same optimization problem w.r.t. \(\theta\), since the logarithm is a strictly increasing function. So the statement remains completely correct.
