This quantity appears in the time component of separable solutions to Fourier's heat equation, and it is exponentiated by matrices by using the eigenmodes of a system to form the fundamental matrix.
This quantity appears in the time component of separable solutions to Fourier's heat equation, and it is exponentiated by matrices by using the eigenmodes of a system to form the fundamental matrix. This quantity raised to the power i pi is equal to negative one. It can be computed as the infinite series of one over n factorial as n approaches infinity. It is the base for solutions to the differential equation y-prime equals y, and the derivative of this number to the power x is equal to itself. For 10 points, identify this irrational number that is used as the base of the natural logarithm, equal to approximately 2.71.
