e-- special request from Milagros317

The number e is sometimes called Euler's number after the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler, or Napier's constant in honor of the Scottish mathematician John Napier who introduced logarithms. (e is not to be confused with γ – the Euler–Mascheroni constant, sometimes called simply Euler's constant.)

And e is approximately equal to 2.718281828459045... 😀

ok now I have to know what is the purpose of this thread??😕
So I can contribute something more then what I just said here ^ ^

You would have to ask Chris for what purpose he starts all these mathematical threads. 😀

 

[amkes]

I love math but this is confusing me as to how I can contribute 😕

...and e is the ratio of the circumference to the radius for a particular type of spiral, but I don't remember which type. Anyone...? Buehler?

Amkes, just contribute an interesting fact about e, or start a new thread about a new math topic.

Now you've got it, Amke! And I learned something. Never knew there was a connection between e and Andrew Jackson!
