Five most important numbers ever

[The artist formally known]

the derivative of e is zero, just like any other constant function

e^x is what i meant. i think i stated it later in that post.

uh, phi, anyone

[The artist formally known]

uh, phi, anyone

sometimes people say it's more important than 1.

phi is a very cool number, there are so many books on it too.

[guff]

uh, phi, anyone

no, it's not very important to pure mathematics, unless we also talk about how cool every other quadratic irrational is
everyone just talks about it because they're too stupid to understand the constants that actually have interesting properties

e^x is what i meant. i think i stated it later in that post.

no, what i quoted was the last line in that post

still want a proof

[Dullahan]

yah.
that makes sense now.
jokesss.

Yeah, I kinda figured you wouldn't know.

dunno they did a bunch before acknowledging the existence of zero

I think a lot of what they did involved an implicit understanding of what zero was even if they never understood it well enough to define it as a number.

is this thread basically smart people talking about numbers?

thats what all the threads on boyah are about

i already know how to prove it, i was asking you to

don't talk about theorems you can't prove >:o

fine, mr. smarty pants

aaaaaaaaaaa

[superclucky]

i raise you a calc AB felt

[laskfn]

i is an imaginary unit plz, used to represent neg sqr roots plz

[Gladjaframpf]

fine, mr. smarty pants

Yeah you know I'm right.

[the shortest route to the sea]

So i² = -1

what's root i. give me proof for 5 points
