It's higher math, calculus level. "e" is more closely the answer to everything than 42 ever thought about being.

Ah, now I know why I didn't get it. I'm still doing Algebra I and basic geometry. Not quite ready for calculus yet.

The concept is proving to be Eulersive to some.

e is ome of the very basic numbers in the universe...it appears just about everywhere in nature, and the "base e logarith" is commonly called a "natural logarithm", hence my comment that it was the most natural day to wait for.

Personally, I prefer "geek" to "nerd"

But certainly a math geek thing.

"Although often considered as a pejorative, the term is also used self-referentially without malice or as a source of pride. Its meaning has evolved to connote "someone who is interested in a subject (usually intellectual or complex) for its own sake."

Although I was told it was someone who bites the heads off chickens.

"Geeks were sometimes alcoholics or drug addicts, and could be paid with liquor – especially during Prohibition – or with narcotics."

^LOL there ok i wouldn't trust their stuff because people can go in and change it

SarDragon

Wikipedia is a good first source. The fact that it can be changed is a two-edged sword. Good because things can be easily updated; bad because the changes can be malicious. I've found that the entries most prone to vandalism are those about people and controversial subjects. Most entries are perfectly fine.

It's fairly accurate. This geek has been paid with liquor more than once.
