Prove that the derivative of e^x is e^x.

dx[ln(x)] = 1/x
dx[ln(e^x)] = dx[e^x]/e^x = dx[ x ] =1
For a fraction to be equal to one, both the numerator and denominator must be the same. Therefore, dx[e^x] = e^x

Man, e is awesome.

ooo. I have a question actually... so I have been trying to come up with a "nice" equation that describes the electric field inside the plane of a ring... my integrals keep getting reaaaaally ugly and I was wondering if you can come up with a nice integral for it...

'thanks but that is the magnetic field at the center of a current loop. I was looking for the electric field as a function as how far we are from the center of the loop while still being in the plane.

Someone tell me how thick the ice wall would have to be to hold in the world's oceans. I did it myself, but there's a lot of room for error and I want to be double checked. I came up with about 5/8 of a mile.

I'm still waiting. I thought this was just a troll thread.         >:(

Is the real part of any non-trivial zero in the Riemann zeta function 1/2?

Yes. All of them, in fact. I would write down the proof, but it is too large to fit in the margins.

That's the quote from Fermat's Small Theorem and not the Poincare and not suitable for the Riemann hypothesis.

It's funny because nobody writes equations that way. Math is a language, and writing 4+4/4 is just poor wording on the writer's part because it is ambiguous.

dx[ln(x)] = 1/x
Hold your horses. ln(x)dx = 1/x is a direct result of e^xdx = e^x. You can't prove the rule with itself.
Also, (for some obscure reason) you've used the chain rule without proving its validity. That's no proof at all. It's just restating what you were supposed to prove.

I'll prove ln(x)dx = 1/x, too then. And what do you mean 'without proving its validity'? The chain rule has already been proven to work with any function, hasn't it?

e = lim (x->Math.huge) [(1 + 1/x)^x], by definition
dx[ln(x)] = lim (Δx->0) [(ln(x + Δx) - ln(x)) / Δx], by definition
ln(x) - ln(y) = ln(x/y)
dx[ln(x)] = lim (Δx->0) [(ln((x + Δx) / x)) / Δx]
dx[ln(x)] = lim (Δx->0) [(1 / Δx)(ln(1 + Δx/x)]

Let u = x / Δx
As Δx approaches infinite, u approaches 0.
1 / Δx = u / x
Δx / x = 1 / u

dx[ln(x)] = lim (u->infinite) [(u / x)(ln(1 + 1/u)], by substitution
dx[ln(x)] = lim (u->infinite) [(1 / x)ln(1 + 1/u)^u]
1/x is a constant, so
dx[ln(x)] = (1 / x)lim (u->infinite) [ln(1 + 1/u)^u]
From the limit of the composition of functions,...
dx[ln(x)] = (1 / x)ln(lim (u->infinite) [(1 + 1/u)^u])
lim (u->infinite) [(1 + 1/u)^u] = e, by definition
dx[ln(x)] = (1 / x)ln(e)
dx[ln(x)] = 1 / x

 when, where, and how were diagonal matrices first stacked and integrated into the same math model creating a math model capable of combining an infinite number of variables into a single math platform, or the beginning of emperical matrix ?

This is not the definition of e. It's a derived equation. Derive it if you want to use it.

This is a history question. Go and create a history questions thread if you want to post things like this.
