[Official Video Background:
Ernie Simmons MD: All right, find base.
Colonel Max Shannon: This won't scare me.
Taffy O'Donnell: It's exponentials with logs.
Private 'Chaps' Putnam: They get so big!
Chi-Chi Sullivan (style of Charlie Brown): Auuuugh!
This exponential... this logarithm... logs, exponentials... uh huh.]
[Karaoke Background Version:
This exponential... this logarithm... logs, exponentials... base of "e".
This exponential... this logarithm... logs, exponentials... uh huh. ]
We'll get graphing so many numbers exponentially, (and)
All of them logging their positions so sequentially.
(I) never thought I'd put our variable on power play
But here we go, doing our divisions to find base today.
This base needs no fix - the base used domain one-two-three.
This base needs root sixth - the base saw stretch two-eight you see.
Asymptote hides base - that base must reset to divide.
A negative base, is geometric, graphs denied.
[CHORUS:]
This exponential has a base of “e”.
To integrate it, you'll just add “c”.
This logarithm has a base of “e”.
It’s compound interest to infinity.
If I find inverse, we'll get the logarithm, and that's great,
Domain to range, make (the) x-y exchange, and never try to rotate.
Don't multiply - we'll add instead, thanks to Napier.
Logs (all) in proportion, no table distortion, math gets weightier.
This base is muted - base should be ten when log's so blunt.
This base is rooted - multiply index out in front.
That argument's our base; number/base match leaving one.
Match exponential's base, our log's base is now undone.
[CHORUS:]
This exponential has a base of “e”.
To integrate it, you'll just add “c”.
This logarithm has a base of “e”.
It’s compound interest to infinity.
Somehow these logs, they came before we raised exponents up
No dividings, base one-over-e was part of their setup
Natural base, it also ties to a hyperbola
But look (at) how every base can be a scaled version of:
This base needs no fix;
This base needs root sixth;
This base is muted;
This base is rooted;
Let's get the "e" base; it's base two-point-seven-one-eight.
Logs call it lawn base, derives to one-over-x, it's great.
This exponential has a base of “e”.
This logarithm has it too, you see.
Compound interest. Compound interest? Compound interest's infinity.
Compound interest. Compound interest? Compound interest's infinity.
[CHORUS:]
This exponential has a base of “e”.
To integrate it, you'll just add “c”.
This logarithm has a base of “e”.
It’s compound interest to infinity.
(Now in behind more Chorus Repeating:)
This base needs no fix; This base needs root sixth;
This base is muted; This base is rooted;
Let's get the "e" base; it's base two-point-seven-one-eight.
Logs call it lawn base, derives to one-over-x, it's great.
Asymptote hides base - that base must reset to divide.
A negative base, is geometric, graphs denied.
This base alters front, this base ten is blunt,
I got an argument matched base, and I got to cancel out each base.
