I am trying to write concise, yet correct descriptions of several functions that refer to the Eulerian number and the natural log base, e (2.71828182845904). The functions in question are: EXP. IMEXP, LN and IMLN.
Is the Eulerian number, the natural log base and e the same thing?
Yes, if you allow e=2.71828182845904... (note the dots, coming from a math geek ;))

So, then, this description would be accurate:
EXP(number) - Returns e raised to the power of the given number. The constant e equals 2.71828182845904..., the base of the natural logarithm (or the Eulerian number). Therefore, the function used with "number" being 1, =EXP(1), would return 2.71828182845904...
Is this for Appendix C?
If yes, IMO, I don't think the function appendix needs an explanation of what e is. Users who need to raise something to e will know.
Just my $.02.
Else, never mind.
Have a good one,
