Is the "golden ratio" related to "e"?

[Belrix]

Pretty much the subject line says it all.

I remember from my physics courses all the places that e, the base of the natural logarithm, showed up in nature & natural processes. From memory, it's 2.718281828459045... (there's a trick to remembering it*).

Now, thanks to The DaVinci Code everybody is talking about Phi, the so-called "golden ratio", roughly 1.618.

Are these two values related in same way?

-B

*the trick, by the way is "2.7", Andrew Jackson squared, triangle.
"2.7" - you just have to remember that.
"1828, 1828" is Andrew Jackson's election year, twice
"45, 90, 45" angles in a 45-degree right triangle.

Yes, I am a geek. Why do you ask?
