2.71828183: The number e song

[lluvank]

I used to be a mathematician like you, but then i took e to the x...

[Mrchibirobin]

don't uderstand

[Kevin123Kevber]

this should looop

[Kevin123Kevber]

i tried 3,14 / 0 on my computer calculator, it crashed...

[insaniac747]

Pi is Chuck Norris's phone number. But e is The Stig's phone number.

[MrZajoxxx]

cool song, but i think, the 1. proof shoul be reversed because first there was "sin" and "cos" taylor serie and than subsequently Euler found out his identity

[danielwedge]

I like it how you have all put in the effort to make the graph of total views over time (click next to the number of views to see it) look something like an exponential curve. That's awesome. Thanks!

[Tobbe999999999999999]

Great song. But it would be even better and more matching if you would have made the song i the key of e-major or e-minor, and sing the decimals of e as a melody, for example in e-major: f#, d#, e, e, f# etc. :)

[danielwedge]

@Tobbe999999999999999 I know :((( I guess this should have been the speed of light song instead.

[97liroy]

at 0:33 i tested:

(1+r/n)^n=e^r

my numbers i used:

(1+2/3)^3=4,62963

but e^2=7,389056

[lluvank]

@97liroy of course. but the expression [(1+2/n)^n = e^2] is valid as [n->oo]

[YUSOpoop456]

i love math

[hippietwinkie]

lol my professor thought i was cheating cause i sung this under my breathe during his exam

[3komma1415926535897]

e + Pi = eπc ! :D

[Monti3395]

uhhhhh,,,, F*ck Math :|

[forallpurposesonly]

How can you do the TeX stuff?

[danielwedge]

@forallpurposesonly It was all just normal TeX output that I cut together and rotated/zoomed etc using Avisynth :)

[mdebowskamo]

lyric, plese :D i wanna sing this <3

[SuperStudying]

The error about the exponent I think has already been said to you. I love the song and indeed the music and at the end I would say "2.7183 to 5 sig. figureeees...." to show the approximating.

^ __ ^

[sinakpapua]

give me the lyric please.,.,.!!!! im standing in awe watching this.,.!!!!!

[MathPhysChemSkyNerd]

FABULOUS!

[Cheetows78]

e is not a number i asked my math teacher.

[Ipen77cp]

@Cheetows78 e is a constant it was sung very clearly in the song

[Moneymuch13]

@Cheetows78 e is a number. if your maths teacher said it isn't, not only is he wrong but he's a complete twat too. tell him i said that.

[funofsk8ing]

@Cheetows78 please, I asked my english teacher!

[Cheetows78]

@funofsk8ing sorry my friend has a password to my account and he said that

[ben1996123]

@Cheetows78

they probably didnt want to explain it.

[bsn913]

whoevever wrote this song is a freaking genius

[MathPhysChemSkyNerd]

The way it works is so beautiful it make me cry tears of joy. :,)

[MathPhysChemSkyNerd]

MATH GIVES ME A HARDON.

[bsn913]

einstein couldnt understand this

[elflordbob1]

@bsn913 its rather simple you see...ok not really

[bsn913]

@elflordbob1 math goves me an rb (random boner)

[bsn913]

@bsn913 where did u get rb? because i made that up

[elflordbob1]

@bsn913

...me to

its kinda embaressing when im in math class but luckly i sit next to a hot chick so i can say its her fault

[bsn913]

i love this number

[laputahayom]

1:04 finely someone who pronounces it like me.

[danielwedge]

@laputahayom yay! how do others pronounce it? "you-ler"?

[Withless92]

@danielwedge oyy-ler

[elflordbob1]

0:56

arand plane

i think thats how its spelt anyway

[Fishmr1]

Pi is better.

[ben1996123]

@Fishmr1

YOU ARE WRONG

[elflordbob1]

idk but i keep wanting to watch this...

i have a to take the barbra nunn test wedsday(math competition) but this song is so damn edicting

[bsn913]

@elflordbob1 what state is that in

[elflordbob1]

@bsn913

Florida

algebra 2/geomtry is the barbra nunn

algebra 1 is the hiller

precal/cal/mixed varibales/trig Dostal

[Civix1320]

On a special note, when you're writing out the general form of a polynomial differential equation with roots involving i (sprt(-1)), you can (via euler's formula) reduce the equation to e^(alpha * x) (C1 * Cos( beta * x) + C2 * sin (beta * x)) where alpha is the real number calculated and beta is the variable multiplied by i. For instance the roots of x^2 + 1 is 0 +/- i. 0 in that case would be alpha, and 1 would be beta (1 being the multiplier of i in this case).

[bsn913]

@Civix1320 that is amazing but stupid

[AndrewRaimonSavage]

Great now all I need to do is upload this to my ephod/ipod and listen to it on loop as I sleep each night for 28 days.

[MrPipeBomb11]

Sounds like School House Rock....

[Daddyosaccount]

@MrPipeBomb11 totally

[Kevin123Kevber]

@mrbubbles551 how do you know my password on my computer?

[kurstinreaves33]

i bet u to

[kurstinreaves33]

i bet u that my teacher could not understand that

[kurstinreaves33]

that was stupied who does that

[bsn913]

you are such a loser

[ElectroMagneticWeak]

"I have discovered a truly marvelous proof that demonstrates that e is a normal number for all bases. However, this video is too short to contain it."

Hell, now we are going to spend another 358 years to do a proof...

[mittfh]

"I have discovered a truly marvellous proof..." which, no doubt, is too long to fit into this video :)

[MrSkeleton16]

God bless autism, this was as easy as pi (pun) to absorb.

[ben1996123]

this is my favourite song

[CubesOfTheWorld]

@ben1996123 I love it how ben says favourite. lolben

lol.

[seeheers]

Reasons why e is better than pi

pi ~= 3.14 while e ~=2.718281828459045.

The character for e can be found on a keyboard, but pi sure can't.

Everybody fights for their piece of the pie.

ln(pi^1) is a really nasty number, but ln(e^1) = 1.

e is used in calculus while pi is used in baby geometry.

e stands for Euler's Number, pi doesn't stand for squat.

You don't need to know Greek to be able to use e.

You can't confuse e with a food product.

[bsn913]

@seeheers i like it

[coong7777]

i = sqrt(-1)?

[coong7777]

e^(i*pi) + 1 not equal 0?

[soterios11]

a way of remembering e:

1. remember 2.7

2. remember andrew jackson was elected in 1828

3. remember andrew jackson was elected twice

4. remember your 45-90-45 triangle

Voila, you have e= 2.718281828459045 memorized :)

[coong7777]

2.71828183 < e?

[conectado2]

euler number > all numbers. btw the song lack the explanation that e emerged as the number of the base of natural logarythm which is the integral of 1/x. being tought of the number of the inverse function of natural logarythmg when x = 1

[anticorncob6]

"Also, I have discovered a truly marvelous proof that demonstrates that e is a normal number for all bases"

NO YOU HAVEN'T!!!

[Sallygwizz37]

Two point seven one eight two eight one eight three is approximately the value of the constant "e". The sum for n ranging from nought to infinity, of 1 on n factorial is e. With compound interest, the more frequently the compounding's performed you'll watch your balance grow to e. As the number of periods approaches infinity the limit of (one plus (one on n)) all to the n is e. Two point seven one eight two eight one eight three is approximately the value of the constant "e". It's one...

[kotnikd3]

omg. i can see my teacher dancing to this song..

[uut0]

at 1.21 it says x²/7! shouldn't that be x^7/7! ?

(on the right side 4th line)

[danielwedge]

@uut0 correct :( well spotted! (exclamation mark, not factorial.)

[uut0]

@danielwedge hehe

[squillyify]

@danielwedge exclamation mark is factorial

[elflordbob1]

@danielwedge

(w*v*u*t*s*r...ect)*(e*d*c*b*a­)*(l*k*j*i*h*g*...ect)^2

wait i was only spopsed to do that to spotted...i hat myself

lol jk

[bsn913]

@uut0 i like it

[funofsk8ing]

@uut0 you... you actually went through to check the equation? dear lord...

[uut0]

@funofsk8ing I wanted to know what it said and couldn't not notice that 2, sorry for that

[MrSeanMDickinson]

now do i

[anticorncob6]

Cool.

Can someone supply a proof that (1+1/n)^n as n approaches infinity is the same as 1 + 1 + 1/2! + 1/3!..., other than the fact that they both equal e?

[KH2083]

Nice video. Euler's formula - one of the most elegant math equation ever.

[MrCalhoun]

Most underrated mathematical constant.

[Horrrrrrrrst]

@MrCalhoun underrated? it is used almost everywhere, how could you call it underrated?
