What is e in mathematices? Why e is important in mathematices

____________________________________

Answer & Explanation
What is e^x?

The number e is a mathematical constant or also known as Euler's number constant.
The constant e is real and irrational number represented by a greek letter (lower case "e").

What is the value of e in mathematices?

The number e is a mathematical constant or also known as Euler's number constant.
The constant e is real and irrational number represented by a greek letter (lower case "e").
Its value is e = 2.72 (approximate)

Properties of e
Here are some properties of "e"

1 - The constant e is real and irrational number 

2 - Natural logarithms is represented with base "e".

3 - e^x is called the (natural) exponential function. 

                  2     3     4
     x           x     x     x    
4 - e = 1 + x + --- + --- + --- + . . .
                 2!    3!    4!


5 - The approximate value of constant e is 2.71828.
Prove that e = 2.27 ? What is defination of e?

The e constant has an infinite number of digits. The value of e can be calculated as

          1     2     3     4
 x       x     x     x     x    
e = 1 + --- + --- + --- + --- + . . .
         1     2!    3!    4!

      ∞
 1   ---
e  = \      1
     /     ---
     ---    n!
    n=0
	      1     1      1
   = 1 + --- + --- + ----- + ...
          1    2.1   3.2.1

   = 1 + 1 + 0.5 + 0.1667 + ...
      
   = 2.72(approximate)	
Note :

The numerical value of e truncated to 50 decimal places is 2.71828182845904523536028747135266249775724709369995

                  0
What is value of e ?
 x                 0
e  (when x = 0) = e 

(because we know any non zero number raised to the power 0 is 1)  

             0
Therefore  e = 1

See also our separate table for fractional powers of e*x), which is convenient for some Poisson problems.
e's value by scientific calculator

No need to remember these all values of e (e^2 , e^3, e^4, e^5 etc.) just clear this concept in your mind. Because can use your scientific calculator to get these values of e.
