The E() function returns the floating point double-precision number that is closest to Euler's number (e), which is the base of natural logarithms.
E() is approximately 2.718281828459045 and is fundamental to exponential growth and decay calculations, compound interest, continuous compounding, probability distributions, and calculus. This constant appears in models involving growth rates, decay processes, and logarithmic relationships.
