e is a truly transcendental number (by Hermite, 1873).
e is the inverse log.
e is one of the components of the Euler's Equation: e^(pi i)+1=0
e^x grows faster than any polynomial function(i.e. for any natural number n, the value of e^x is greater than any x^n for "large values of x" (i.e. there exists some number N such that, for all x>N, e^x > x^n).
