What is e? Let's explore the number e in 5 levels of complexity, ranging from compound interest, to representing e in calculus, to simulating e with probability.
Small correction: At 11:42, the area is 1/2 xy (1-z)^2 = A (1-z)^2. The left-hand side is missing the 1/2. Thanks to @aaravgulati2 for catching this!
