Great tidbit, thanks. I forget if I have a mention that logs were developed before e, but I love it because it's a little mosquito in the ear for the over-rigorous mathematicians who define e up front (as a limit) and then say "the natural logarithm is log base e".
e was only discovered because of logarithms, not the other way around! :)
