why is the differential of e^y = e^y ?

if my question isnt clear please let me know..

Here's a quick proof, using the chain rule: \[ u=e^x\]We know:\[ \frac{d}{dx}\ln(e^x)=\frac{d}{dx}x=1 \]So, we begin:\[ \frac{d}{dx}\ln(e^x)=\frac{d}{du}\ln(u)\frac{d}{dx}e^x=\frac{1}{u}\cdot\frac{d}{dx}e^x=\frac{1}{e^x}\cdot\frac{d}{dx}e^x=\]Which implies:\[ \frac{d}{dx}e^x=e^x \]

I meant: \[ \frac{1}{e^x}\cdot\frac{d}{dx}e^x=1 \](By our first derivation, on the top)

e is such a nice number ...look at the series of expansion of e^x .. and differentiate it.
