I hold HND in Electrical Engineering and a Bachelor's degree in physics...I have watched videos of the best physicist of the modern era but non can be compare to the way you teach... I really enjoy watching your videos... Thanks for the good job.
Thank you very much for such a clear explanation.
Thank you for this video.
My math teacher in high school had a sign that read, "Euler: pronounced like "oiler" not like '"ruler" " lol
Nice 👍
Really happy to learn from you ...
😊
That is really cool about the slope of e^x at every function value!
e would appear to be the limit of (1+ε)^(1/ε) as ε→0
For ε=1.0e-16, (1+ε)^(1/ε) on my pocket calculator gives E=2.718281828459045..., while it gives e=2.718281828459045... when I press the e button.
Subtracting e, according to my calculator, from E gives E-e=1.018986660018517e-16, indicating that 1^∞ has a good chance of reaching e.

Great pre calculus set up.
While the slope is quite straightforward, with the area under the curve is not. The area is actually infinite because the curve never touches the X axis.
In my opinion e is much cooler than pi.
Euler was born April 15, 1707 Switzerland and died September 18, 1783 Russia. The last seventeen years of his life he was almost totally blind and died from what they believe was a brain hemorrhage. He was quoted to have said there "fewer distractions" since loosing his sight.
