Can I use the call-a-“squeak” lifeline?
I like that a lot! Pop-culture, here I come!
Dr. P- too bad I didn’t see your riddle in time, I am keen on logarithms (since back in the day, we had to use log tables (has one ever been seen in the last 40 years?) to calculate exponential equations – calculators were 4 function only).
BTW, I also noticed that you mentioned ‘e’ on the last post. Can you explain how the precise value of e was solved for? (I know why the number is important- its slope at x=0), but not how the number that has those properties was solved for).
