Sure it does - if you want to approximate e^x.

A constant function and e^x are walking on Broadway. Then suddenly the constant function sees a differential operator approaching and runs away. So e^x follows him and asks why the hurry. "Well, you see, there's this differential operator coming this way, and when we meet, he'll differentiate me and nothing will be left of me...!" "Ah," says e^x, "he won't bother ME, I'm e to the x!" and he walks on. Of course he meets the differential operator after a short distance.
e^x: "Hi, I'm e^x"
diff.op.: "Hi, I'm d/dy"

lol, took me a sec to figure it out... it wasn't d/dx


i'm such a nerd to "get" it =/

You're not a nerd if you didn't get it at first.

I don't know why, but I feel like crawling into a corner and dying right now.
