Given D[eⁿ, n]
, Mathematica produces:
eⁿ Log[e]
Why? (Or rather, why not just eⁿ
?)

E != e

in Mathematica it will be highlighted as blue, whileE
is black. Blue symbols don't have definitions (either user-defined or build-in), so the fact thate
is blue is a hint that Mathematica considers it just to be a variable and nothing more. $\endgroup$ – Sjoerd Smit Aug 30 '17 at 14:37esc
eeesc
. This is rendered as a math double stroke lowercase e, but behaves as as the exponentialE
.D[\[ExponentialE]^n, n]===\[ExponentialE]^n
