This piece is another variation on the theme of Euler found in several items in this issue.
The first 100 digits of Euler's number \(e\) are represented using dots having sizes related to the
value of the digits. The dots lie roughly along a logarithmic spiral path that forms a stylized \(e\).
Starting with the central dot, there are dots of size 2, 7, 1, 8, 2, 8, 1, 8, 2, 8, 4, 5, and so on.
