    @@MrZorx751) If you're referring to the slope of the tangent line, I wouldn't call that the "basic definition" of what a derivative is. I think that title goes to the following: f'(x) = lim h -> 0 (f(x+h)-f(x))/h 2) Just because they knew that the derivative represents the slope of the tangent line and that d/dx(e^x) = e^x, that doesn't mean they had considered how those two facts interact. It's possible to know two facts without knowing a third fact that logically follows from the first two, as you may have just never thought about it before.

    The number e is Euler's number. It is a coincidence that Euler's number is named e, as that is the name he chose. It really stands for exponential. The exponential function of a constant base equal to e, is the function whose derivative is itself. In other words, draw a line tangent at any point on y=e^x. The slope at the point (x, y) will equal the value of y. In essence, it is the form of the exponential function that makes its calculus the most elegant. For any other function in the exponential family, such as 2^x, you end up accumulating a coefficient out in front every time you take derivatives. d/dx of 2^x for instance, is ln(2)*2^x.

    @@isavenewspapers8890 in terms of clarity, expressing e as the sum of the inverses of all the factorials plays directly into e's role in calculus and can quickly lead to proofs of some of its properties, all the way to Euler's identity, my main issue is that the bank interest problem doesnt lead to as many insights about why e is so useful in terms of interestingness, here are a few integral(1/x dx) from 1 to e is 1 (-1)^(-i/pi) = e (from euler's identity) solutions of dy/dx = y (kind of an obvious one to anyone who has studied calculus) There are all sorts of crazy definitions that can be derived from euler's identity but the one i put there is a simple algebraic rearrangement of the theta=pi version
