Professor Strang explains how the magic number e connects to ordinary things like the interest on a bank account. The graph of y = e^x has the special property that its slope equals its height (it goes up exponentially fast !). This is the great function of calculus. • View the complete course at: http://ocw.mit.edu/highlights-of-calc... • Chapters • 00:00 Outline • 00:24 The Exponential Function: y = e^x, The function that calculus created • 01:15 Properties of the Exponential Function • 27:20 The Graph of the Function y = e^x • 30:00 Example: Computing Compound Interest • License: Creative Commons BY-NC-SA • More information at http://ocw.mit.edu/terms • More courses at http://ocw.mit.edu • Subtitles are provided through the generous assistance of Jimmy Ren.
