Collection of quotes about Euler's number (e)

This post is a collection of quotes about Euler's number (e). There are 3 quotes listed below. Source: Wikipedia: e (mathematical constant), 11.18.23 UTC 19:47

1. "The number e, also known as Euler's number, is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 2.71828..."

2. "e = lim(n→∞) (1 + 1/n)^n"

3. "If the interest is credited twice in the year, the interest rate for each 6 months will be 50%, so the initial $1 is multiplied by 1.5 twice, yielding $1.00 x 1.5^2 = $2.24 at the end of the year. Compounding quarterly yields $1.00 x 1.25^4 = $2.44140625, and compounding monthly yields $1.00 x (1 + 1/12)^12 = $2.613035..."

Collection of quotes about logarithms

This post is a collection of quotes about logarithms. There are 5 quotes listed below. Source: Wikipedia: Logarithm, 11.18.23 UTC 03:04

1. "...a logarithm is the inverse operation of exponentiation."

2. "For example, since 1000 = 10^3, the logarithm base 10 of 1000 is 3, or log10 (1000) = 3."

3. "log2 (16) = 4, since 2^4 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16."

4. "Logarithms can also be negative: log2 (1/2) = -1 since 2^-1 = 1/(2^1) = 1/2."

5. "For any base b, logb (b) = 1 and logb (1) = 0, since b^1 = b and b^0 = 1, respectively."
