'''''Euler Number''''', symbolized ''e'', is a useful [[mathematical]] constant which is a [[transcendental]] number approximately equal to 2.718281828459045 . ''e'' can be used in [[logarithm]]s as the base, called a [[natural logarithm]]. ''e'' is named for [[Swiss]] [[mathematician]] [[Leonhard Euler]], though he did not discover the constant.
