How to reproduce the issue

Code for reproducing the problem

class MathScene3(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        ax = Axes()
        sine = ax.plot(np.log, color=RED)
        alpha = ValueTracker(0)
        point = always_redraw(
            lambda: Dot(
                sine.point_from_proportion(alpha.get_value()),
                color=BLUE
            )
        )
        tangent = always_redraw(
            lambda: TangentLine(
                sine,
                alpha=alpha.get_value(),
                color=BLUE_A,
                length=4
            )
        )
        self.add(ax, sine, point, tangent)
        self.play(alpha.animate.set_value(1), rate_func=linear, run_time=4)

The logarithmic function np.log(x) is not defined for values of x <= 0 Apparently the .plot function is not evaluated before you are trying to access the starting point.

Just set an appropriate interval for the plot:

class MathScene3(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        ax = Axes()
        sine = ax.plot(np.log, color=RED, x_range=[1e-2,6,1e-2])
        alpha = ValueTracker(0)
        point = always_redraw(
            lambda: Dot(
                sine.point_from_proportion(alpha.get_value()),
                color=BLUE
            )
        )
        tangent = always_redraw(
            lambda: TangentLine(
                sine,
                alpha=alpha.get_value(),
                color=BLUE_A,
                length=4
            )
        )
        self.add(ax, sine, point, tangent)
        self.play(alpha.animate.set_value(1), rate_func=linear, run_time=4)
