e and pi

The relationship between math's two biggest constants, e and π, has been investigated by all of the greats of mathematics -Euler, Bernoulli, et al. -but remains a haze today. 15-year-old Cody Dianopoulos speculates that the relationship between e and π is more than just that of Euler's great equation e iπ + 1 = 0, but that e and π have, in fact, a direct relationship. Dianopoulos goes into the approximations of their relationship and how computers can be used to confirm the values.
