i like e the most

i fucking hate e. i love i though
but taking the derivative of e is fun!
The combining of five important constants is cool and all, but the full version of Euler's formula that it's derived from is a lot more useful. baddood;
How do I determine which number is more important
creeper don't even pretend you know numbers
you suck at math
i hate you

I'd say zero's pretty important because its sort of the basis for our entire number system.
I like 4
488 there are only 3. baddood;
lol

what do you mean basis
√-1

what does that even mean
e = 2.71828â,‰18284â,‰59045â,‰23536...
(1+1/n)
ni = √-1
it's an imaginary number used to find the roots of negative numbers.
Ï, = 3.14159265358979323846...
ratio of circumference of a circle to its diameter

the derivative of e is zero, just like any other constant function
e
x's derivative, however, is e

also please prove this mr. reaper

uh, phi, anyone
Quote from: russell on October 23, 2008, 02:28:57 PM

sometimes people say it's more important than 1.
phi is a very cool number, there are so many books on it too.
Quote from: russell on October 23, 2008, 02:28:57 PM

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 baddood;

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?

aaaaaaaaaaa madood;
i raise you a calc AB felt
i is an imaginary unit plz, used to represent neg sqr roots plz
So i2 = -1
what's root i. give me proof for 5 points befuddlement

I think I remember how to do this. Sort of.
Okay, here we go:
i = (2i)/2
= (2i + 1 - 1)/2
= (i^2 + 2i + 1)/2
= ((i + 1)^2)/2
= ((i+1)/sqrt(2))^2
Therefore, sqrt(i) = (i+1)/sqrt(2). I guess it could also be -(i+1)/sqrt(2) if you want to be precise.

I think it's said differently though.
