Page 61: No explanation of when to use `Math.E` #698

The comment was that it is not obvious when you'd use E, and the book doesn't explain it. That much is true, but this might be something best deferred to a later version. The people who are likely to use E probably know exactly where they'd use it, and the ones that don't probably don't care.

This does beg the question, does E even need to be covered in this book?

After thinking about this one a bit, I don't feel I can justify adding in an explanation while keeping to a "patch" update. It would require too much content and shift things around too much.

Furthermore, I also keep thinking on the idea that maybe E doesn't even need to be covered in the book. I already don't cover everything provided by Math, and not that many people are going to put E to good use. PI, on the other hand, is a lot more immediately useful.
