What REALLY is e? (Euler’s Number)
To try everything Brilliant has to offer-free-for a full 30 days, visit brilliant.org/FoolishChemist. You’ll also get 20% off an annual premium subscription.
In this video, we explain where Euler's number e = 2.71828... comes from. We start by studying the example of compound interest, and use it to generalize e to being a constant that describes continuous self-referential (exponential) growth.
Enjoy!

The Fundamental Theorem of Gradients | Multivariable Calculus
Просмотров 7 тыс.Месяц назад
To try everything Brilliant has to offer-free-for a full 30 days, visit brilliant.org/FoolishChemist. You’ll also get 20% off an annual premium subscription. In this video, we "derive" (or rather, intuitively explain) the formula for line integrals over vector fields and describe how to evaluate them with some examples. Then, we use that knowledge to build up to the fundamental theorem of line ...

ChemWalks-001: A detailed description of the formula associated with the first law of thermodynamics-dU = q - w. This video spends time discussing what internal energy (U), change in internal energy (dU), heat (q), and work (w) really mean for a system, and how they all fit into this equation. Nuance with writing q - w vs q w is also touched on. ChemWalks is a new video series I'm starting wher...

ChemWalks: a new video series I'm starting where I candidly explain concepts in chemistry, math, and physics in on-the-go.

In the real world, having intuition for concepts can often be more valuable than remembering a formula or a procedure. By making these video...

I present this by going through each theorem conceptually step by step (no formal proofs...

    I worked for a bank where savings account interest was compounded continuously. I used both Euler’s Number e and natural log ln quite frequently. Your explanation made sense to me. Next time you are talking to a banker ask for a proof of how your savings interest (Annual Percentage Yield) was determined. I bet no one in the bank can do the calculation let alone explain it.

    Hot Tip: (1.0000000001)^⁹ = e This is the smallest number taken to the exponent of its decimal place which is e, or 2.718.... Just add more zeros between the ones and take it to a higher exponent to get "e" with more decimal places.

    I'm sorry, but to ignore calculus in a video trying to give an intuition for e is a somewhat baffling move, since what makes e significant is its use in calculus (specifically for taking the derivative or anti-derivative of an exponential). Walking through how solving f'(x) = f(x) naturally leads to an exponential, and further showing that the base of that exponential is an exact constant, also gives an intuition on why it matters in chemistry and physics, after perhaps explaining why exponential equations are used to model how certain kinds of systems evolve (and how the past of them can be predicted) based only on some constants of the system and the current state.

    I think the basic line integral is a weighted sum of infinitesimal vectors. The result is again a vector. Taking the length of ds complicates matters, and generates a big discrepancy with line integrals in the complex analysis.

    Yet another rehashed bad way to teach e. Not knocking Foolish Chemist. It’s a good math video. We tend to teach math by backing into concepts from an historical perspective. Instead we should relegate the arduous path to discovery of things like e and i to a math history class. Now that we have a better understanding of these concepts we should start with a modern perspective.
