Relate 5 definitions of the number e

'e' is an important constant in mathematics and kind of mysterious, ie, it has various definitions which appear very different but equivalent. 
This article relates 5 definitions of the number e. They are also related with the differentiation rule for the exponential and logarithmic function as well as the general version of the power rule.
