e=??

[Bluga]

cant' remeber

 

[raptor13]

mc^2

 

[Bluga]

little e, not big E

 

[raptor13]

Oh. In that case, it's roughly 2.71828 which is as far as I remember it offhand. If I think hard enough, I can probably remember the power series for it too. Is that what you're looking for?

elevendy billion.

 

[yakko]

<< elevendy billion. >>

It is actually elevendy two billion.

I always thought a good DJ name would be MC Delta T. Any thoughts physics majors?

yes, you'll get your ass kicked

<-- technically a physics major

1.6x10^-19 ( C)

 

[lawaris]

expansion ( maths) is :
e^x = 1 + x + x^2 / 2 + ..........

 

[jpsj82]

e = lim [ (1+1/x)^x ]

the limit is as x goes to infinity.

How can it equal something? There is a variable in there!

 

[911paramedic]

1.6x10^-19

Isn't that a Coulomb??

Just pounding my brain over here...

e as in the base of a natural log equals 2.718281828

[Hayabusa Rider]

Ok, now WHY is e? What does MEAN?
Shows up everywhere like cockroaches in NYC

 

[ForsakenGemini]

What...the heck...are you guys talking about?? Maybe it would help if I took physics...

[StinkyMeat]

ENERGY = MASS x SPEED OF LIGHT squared

e is 1.00 + a very small number, taken to a very large power. Here is an understandable approximation:

(1 + 0.0000000001)^1000000000
