I can't believe Euler predicted the meme.

Math is just all about who can pronounce Euler the most correct

Teacher: In what year did the defeat of the Spanish Armada occur? Me: Euler or Gauss.

Pride x humility = "I would not have called it g, I would have hoped that someone else would have called it g and I would have accepted that."

My Business Calculus professor at the University of Southern Maine was a big Euler fan. All of the classrooms Mainville used had a bit of graffiti; the Euler number, its square and its cube (all written out to five or six places) were written above the blackboard in magic marker. Since we used natural logs in the class, it was like an authorized cheat sheet during exams.

If you graph x^y=y^x, you get two simultaneous graphs. One is x=y, and the other is some variation of y=1/x. They cross at the co-ordinate (e,e)

what is up with all these clickbait titles

The relation and usefulness of e, I, and trigonometry melted my mind.

Euler was such a fit guy He worked everything out

Please don't ever stop making maths videos. I truly appreciate your explanation (history and reasoning). Love your work and truly admire what you are doing.

I'm a complete mathematical moron, and yet I've always been fascinated by higher level maths. The idea of calculus, even geometry is just amazing. I've never in my life found anybody who could get me through a college level algebra course. I get close, but have never been able to finish it. I feel as though I've always sat outside the sun, watching other people achieve and understand this. I'm a sort of "Flowers For Algernon" guy. In any case, this is really interesting.

It is a beautiful equation. I had it on my birthday cake when I was 18.
