Nobody knows what e is or does though. Most people have learned how to come up with the area or circumference of a circle at some point though.

I know what e is, just not what it's useful for. I've figured out ways to use pi to calculate almost everything, from the area of a circle to the volume of a cylinder.

Well, my argument is that perfect circles don't really exist. On the other hand, just about everything that grows exponentially is going to compound constantly, with the exception of man-made things like money.

You poor, poor girl. I don't even know how you joke about this. And you're taking it in the summer, making it all only worse.
Actually, I was able to make some sense of it in high school. Best of luck to you though. This stuff is not much fun. Thankfully I never have to take it.

Pi and e have one weakness.
e is actually useful in calc for certain limits, derivatives, and other stuff. It's fun stuff.

Thanks - But the reason I'm taking it this summer is to avert myself from a horrible teacher. (I've heard bad things..) Plus- don't you think that taking it every day for 1hr 15. as opposed to three times a week for 50 min would pound it in better?
Whatever happens..happens.

I was showing my mom my friends on Facebook and she saw Thege's picture thumbnail and she said "OH MY GOD! That's (The J)?? I thought it was your Grandmother!"
Heh.
Heh.
Can you imagine if I was deranged?
