We will need to rename this article because [[User:Ro Thorpe]] is going to make an article about the letter E/e. My immediate thought is to rename it e (exponential base), but input from mathematicians would help. If possible, I would like the primary author to make the move. [[User:David E. Volk|David E.

I'm not totally happy with "e (exponential base)", but it's the best I've heard so far. This isn't a critical decision; someone who knows how to move subpages should just do it. We can always move it again later if we get a better idea! [[User:Warren Schudy|Warren Schudy]] 14:38, 29 February 2008 (CST) | |||

Intro
The introduction states that the exponential function is the only function equal to its derivative. This isn't quite right; and constant multiple of the exponential function works too. I'll try to find a way to make it correct without being ugly. Warren Schudy 17:14, 9 January 2008 (CST)
some equations too small
I suggest reformatting the equations stuck in the text of paragraphs 1 and 4, because they are really to small to be easily read. Also, be sure to indent equations with the use of a leading semicolon or two. David E. Volk 10:20, 24 February 2008 (CST)
renaming of this article
We will need to rename this article because User:Ro Thorpe is going to make an article about the letter E/e. My immediate thought is to rename it e (exponential base), but input from mathematicians would help. If possible, I would like the primary author to make the move. David E.
