- E (mathematics) [r]: Constant real number equal to 2.71828 18284 59045 23536... that is the base of the natural logarithms. [e]
- Equation (mathematics) [r]: A mathematical relationship between quantities stated to be equal, seen as a problem involving variables for which the solution is the set of values for which the equality holds. [e]

- Group (mathematics) [r]: Set with a binary associative operation such that the operation admits an identity element and each element of the set has an inverse element for the operation. [e]
- Heine–Borel theorem [r]: In Euclidean space of finite dimension with the usual topology, a subset is compact if and only if it is closed and bounded. [e]
