    In this lesson, you will learn what Euler's number is and why it is important in math. We will learn that Euler's number comes from the exponential growth of money when the compounding period is allowed to get very, very small. Euler's number is then used to form the natural exponential function e^x and its inverse, the natural logarithm ln(x). The exponential function is special because it is the only function whose rate of change is equal to the value of the function itself and whose area under the curve is also equal to the value of the function itself.

    I know how much harder is to teach using this method, and I really appreciate the effort you have put in these lessons. I am an engineer. I have used calculus in my career many times, but I must admit I never really understood it on a gut level. Unfortunately I never had an instructor who took his job as seriously as you. Thank you.

    I am an engineer and a keen lover of math. I was blessed to have a calculus teacher that explained this the same way that you did. I was also blessed to have a patient mother who drilled me in math so that I can do many complex calculations in my head by simplifying things back to first principles. My Dad was a mechanic who blessed me with the ingenuity to understand physics by asking questions that came from my curiosity. No wonder when I reached university the concepts of magnetism and electric fields helped me apply science and math to solve engineering problems. My favourite equation is the one you concluded with. e to the i*pi +1=0. It is so neat that the first derivative of the function (slope) is x and is the same as the integral (area under the curve) from - inf to x. Yes, Euler's number is indeed special.

    is an amazing discovery. Thanks, explain it so nicely.
    Curiosity is one of our basic instinct to know or learn(new) things. It is all around us if our mind opens to it. Without the curiosity we barely advance in our life.

    I’m 83 years old and remember in a graduate chemistry class the prof was using “e” in his equations and told us it was easy to remember because it was 2.7 Andrew Jackson squared.
    WHAT???
    Andrew Jackson was elected in 1828 so “e” was 2.718281828 .
    But I didn’t appreciate the derivation of “e” until viewin your presentation. Before it was just a number to me. Now it makes sense.
    Oh, and I liked your inclusion of the area under the curve. Very neat!
    Thanks,

    I remember receiving a loan in 1983. The banker had no clue how compound interest worked.
    40 years later, I figured it out with your video. Also i calculated from your example n= 1 million
    Wow, it came out to exactly 6 digits of Euler‘s number. Jason, thank you for demystifying this formula. You remind me of my math teacher in high school with your contagious enthusiasm.

      Jason, I just watched “09-Unit Circle” a couple of times several days ago. This was the 1st time I have ever heard of a unit circle. You explained it very well. In the 30º, 60º, 90º right triangle the x,y coordinates were ( √3/2,½) . The sine of 30º = ½ (y axis) is permanently etched in my brain with the flashlight analogy . Then √3/2 = x-axis (cos.). Next some calculations were done to understand this more fully.
      √3/ 2 =1.7305/ 2 = .866025. Then the Cos 30º = .866025 on the calculator. This is also true for the Isosceles right triangle at 45º( √2/2). So, being new to the “Unit Circle", I am puzzled!! Why deal with a √3 divided by 2 when 2 clicks of the Construction Master calculator gives the exact same number (.866025 for the cos of 30º)
      Is this because it is easier to remember the simple square roots rather than a 6 digit decimal and plug them into the other 3 quadrants of the circle?

    Well, while thinking about the area under the e^x curve, you still need to keep in mind, that the graph never touches the x axis, so it's still more of a "limit" conceptually.
