We discovered this site and decided that we would feature the comic strips from it. The site features comics from ""Piled Higher and Deeper", the ongoing chronicle of life (or the lack thereof) in grad school." where new comics are posted "approximately 2.718 times a week".

Hope you enjoy them

Here's e to 52 decimal places:

2.7182818284590452353602874713526624977572470936999595

It's defined by

e = lim(n->infinity) (1 + 1/n)^n

and can be computed by

e = 1/0! + 1/1! + 1/2! + 1/3! + 1/4! + ...

Apparently it has been computed up to 869,894,101 decimal places!
