Is e^π > π^e or is e^π < π^e ???
This is a continuation of my Euler-pi theme that seems to have consumed me over the past two days. The answer to the question put forth is easy to determine using technology but little to nothing of value is learned through that process. Natural logarithms, functions and derivatives are once again employed here to arrive at a logical (to me) conclusion.

This entry opens a discussion on “local” versus “global” extrema as well as indeterminate limits.
Click on L’Hospital’s Rule to see the limit of x/ln(x) as x→∞.
Thanks for reading.
