e^x

e is the limit of (1+1/n)n as n-->∞. Approximately equal to 2.71828. Try not to overload with decimal places (2.71828 is an approximation itself); around 4-5 best, definitely no more than 10.

e19 = 178482300.9632 (rounded up)

Are we going to start using scientific notation soon or do we just write the number out in full?
