You Give me thi lottery number money no poblim
This video makes me scared of psychedelics
9:23 "dont put that in the video"
that effect has 2. constants
Very nice
That a Terrifying thumbnail u got there😅😂😂😂
OK sir thanks 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Suuuure…euler only "happened" to use "e" and in SUMMATION operator…only "happened" to make it an E…
Some kind of graining factor.
bro you're in a fnf mod now
Amazing!
I just did a Google search for the most important math constants and the AI summary quoted business insider ahead of any mathematical source. 👍
T
sin, cos are also constants, people miss that
E – the problem
The Great Courses Plus is now Wondrium

Pemerintah Dan pemimpin Indonesia kok Tolol seemua, jad budak dan Anjing US. Konon mahu gegar D unia. Tapi fakta nya jadi budak
0:50 "e is not based on a shape, it's based on growth"
Tumorific
Thank you so much for this clear and fathomable explanation
What are the chances that a guy named Euler discovered Euler’s number?
i came here from silvagunner..
I have the entire intro of this video memorized because of siivaGunner
I prefer: Ee to the EyePye equals Negative One
But I live in MIchigan;so what do I know?
i quote 'thanks a lot bank' to this day
Good video, I like all those fractions. Some may call me a fractophile.
pi is for space, while e is for time!
Why does it say this video has no views 😂
Goes way to fast.
I knew value and derivative and wondered why you brought area into it – then i remembered the anti derivative 😂
I like how this video has 5 million views on Pi Day
Wow
fred weasley
he looks photoshopped in
Butch would NOT be surprised if it was the diameter of the Electron which Butch says sets the speed of light by its diameter.
Who else got sent here by Bicen Maths?
Seeing Numberphile without jay easy's legs is disturbing
e = 5(pi+1)/(phi+6)
This equation brings together the three great irrational constants of mathematics: pi, e and phi.

Here again, thanks Siivagunner
Euler probably used e because it stood for "exponential" just as "π" stands for "perimeter."
