'''Equal division of the [[natave]]''' ('''EDe''' or '''EDN''') is the equal division of the constant ''e'' (where ''e'' is treated as a musical interval in the same way as ''2'' is an octave or ''1.5'' is a perfect fifth).
'''Equal division of the [[natave]]''' ('''EDe''' or '''EDN''') is the equal division of [[Acoustic e|acoustic ''e'']] (where ''e'' is treated as a musical interval in the same way as ''2'' is an octave or ''1.5'' is a perfect fifth).


''e'' is of particular interest because of its relationship with logarithms, given the fact that pitch is perceived logarithmically, and the fact that equal divisions are logarithmic.
''e'' is of particular interest because of its relationship with logarithms, given the fact that pitch is perceived logarithmically, and the fact that equal divisions are logarithmic.
Sometimes it is convenient to treat [[equal-step tuning]]s as (possibly non-integer) EDes in mathematics and computer programs, since it makes the logarithm used in equations the natural logarithm.
