    Any explanation for the mathematically challenged?

      She is derivation, a transform of functions that describes rate of 𝑓(𝑥) changing as 𝑥 changes. (This can be represented visually as the slope of the graph 𝑦 = 𝑓 (𝑥).) He is the exponential function 𝑒𝑥, which is the only* non-zero function whose derivative is itself - in other words, unaffected by derivation. The number 𝑒 is a constant (around 2.718) and the base of natural logarithms, hence the title.

      * except its multiples such as −2 𝑒𝑥, which are… just… uh… derivative works

        I think you forgot about e^x + 1, and e^x + 2, and … …

        (My profs always dunked on me for forgetting the + c and I can’t resist doing it to someone else, I’m sorry)

        For real tho, great explanation

          But the derivative of e^x+c is just e^x (which for c!=0 is not the same). That’s why the +c is added during integrating because all +c is derived to 0 and thus indistinguishable.

        If you want to use exponents on the fediverse you have to enclose the entire exponent in carats like so without the spaces:

        e ^ x ^

        ex

        how about derivative with respect to time instead of with respect to x?

          𝑒𝑥 has been around since the 17th century and it hasn’t changed since. Therefore, it’s a constant with respect to time and gets unceremoniously derived to 0.
