e is an irrational number or non-repeating decimal like pi. It is used as the base number in natural logarithms. Brad first suggested the use of a base-10 common logarithm. Dan Davies then suggested that Brad use a natural logarithm because logically the area under the slope of the curve would be getting smaller the farther you got from the xy axis point of origin. That's what I took out of this discussion.
