Identity Element

$e$

Denotes the identity element in a general algebraic structure.

If $e$ is the identity of the structure $\struct {S, \circ}$, then a subscript is often used: $e_S$.

This is particularly common when more than one structure is under discussion.

Euler's number $e$ is the base of the natural logarithm $\ln$.

$e$ is defined to be the unique real number such that the value of the (real) exponential function $e^x$ has the same value as the slope of the tangent line to the graph of the function.

The $\LaTeX$ code for \(e\) is e .
