Euler's Number Digital Print 2017

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.

### Background and Inspiration
