          Yea, but e is almost never used as a variable because it is always assumed to be Euler’s number outside really specific contexts and it’d be bizarre to see it given as a variable without a,b,c, and d.

            One important thing in anything math related is to be precise and do not leave room for speculation. Sure in math context e is almost always preserved for exp(1), but it is either is stated explicitly or is obvious from the context. Here is no context.
