It's not really a science thing, but a calculus thing. 'e' is a unique number that pops up a lot in formulas.

Seeing as how damn is a real word, I'll take it, but don't do any other swear words...

What? "damn" isn't a profane word? It means, "to condemn" like, "I damn you to hell" means "I condemn you to hell." There's nothing really wrong with it.

Indeedy. As for the math thing, I'm only in Pre-calc; but right now we're doing Trig. Calc is after midterms (oh boy!! >_<), so we may learn that. I was mad that we didn't get a chance to learn sigma in Trig, though. :p

That, and it also has some kinda formula in Trig, although I'm not quite sure what for. I was bored in math one day so I just started looking through my book, and I recognized the Sigma symbol and said, "Oh. So that's where Capcom got it from. o_O"

Yes, it is a letter in the Greek alphabet, but in mathematics (which uses so many god-forsaken Greek letters) Sigma means "the sum of" with the starting condition below and the ending condition above. It looks something like this:
10
Sigma n
n = 1
That all together means "the sum of n, from n = 1 to n = 10". This is a somewhat good site on it:

I only changed one letter. I assumed that your blink counted as a word because it worked as a new word.
