Synopsis

Math.E

Description

The E property stores an approximation of the natural logarithmic base (roughly 2.71828), which in mathematics is represented by the symbol e. It is a transcendental number like π, used in mathematical equations involving growth or change. Don’t confuse it with the E that is used for exponential notation as described in Section 4.3.2 in Chapter 4. The two are unrelated.
