Have you ever been curious about why the number e is so popular in math? Euler’s number, which is an infinitely long decimal, close to 2.71828, pops up naturally in a surprisingly broad range of ...

Now that you know the math, you can see that e-1 =0.37 and 1-e-1 =0.63. If you want to do the actual math, you can always set up a spreadsheet . Anything that grows or shrinks exponentially is a ...

Understanding Euler’s Number (e) Euler’s number e is a mathematical constant that begins with 2.71828. Just like pi (π), it is non-terminating, which means it goes on and on.

But in fact, e was the first non-constructed number to be proved transcendental, by Charles Hermite in 1873. We have to specify “non-constructed” because in 1850, Joseph Liouville provided the first ...
