As the title says, how come the value e is special? it has functions and rules just dedicated to it, but what sets it apart from another random number?

e has cool math properties that math peeps geek out about. I once had a college TA who mocked the class for getting a problem wrong because we solved it assuming log base 10 when it should have been the natural log, i.e. log base e. Then he said, “remember in math we have e number of fingers.”. I love math, but I rolled my eyes hard.
