'''''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.

It has some remarkable properties, such as:
It has some remarkable properties that its exponential to any [[real number]] <math>x</math> is:
:<math>\frac{d}{dx}e^x = e^x.</math>
:<math>\frac{d}{dx}e^x = e^x.</math>
The exponetial function is the [[eigenfunction]] of the derivative operator.
