Agreed. e is a constant, and so differentiation gives zero.

hmmm...the derivative (with respect to x) of e is 0, not 1.

I like this even better:

e^iπ + 1 = 0

All of the most mysterious symbols of mathematics combined in one equation.

See Euler's identity.

Plus, of course,
e ^ (i * π) = -1

The derivative of e is 1, the derivative of e^x is e^x. Furthermore, the integral of 1/x is the (log base e)ln(x).

Symbol for the mathematical, transcendental number 2.718281828459045... Illustration: if you should invest $1.00 in a bank that paid interest compounded, not daily, or monthly, but EVERY INSTANT, at the end of a year you'd have $271.18. Cool, no? "e" is related to organic growth and radioactive decay et al.
