e is also the base of the natural log [ln(x)] and has some good calculus properties that make integration really easy.
e^x is the derivative of e^x right?

Shiro that's cool stuff, my math teacher actually somewhat touched upon what you were saying somewhat

does anyone here know how to calculate any number raised to the one half power (square roots)

I want to write my own square root function to see if i can make it faster, I found an inverse square root function written by carmack but it wasn't accurate enough or something
