e is derived in several different ways.
One way is the infinite sum:
e = 1 + 1/1! + 1/2! + 1/3! + ...
Another is to note that the function 2^x has a gradient of approx 0.6931*2^x while 3^x has a gradient of 1.0986*3^x. Therefore by continuity (and the intermediate value theorem), there must be a value between 2 and 3 such that the gradient of the curve has the same value as the curve. This value is e.

What is the difference between derived attribute and normal attribute?
A normal attribute is an attribute present in a schema and which has to be entered while entering a tuple.A derived Attribute is one which can be inferred(derived) from another normal attribute and it need not be a part of a schema.For e.g.-> In a schema, Date-of-Birth is a normal attribute.While Age is a derived attribute which can be derived from the Date-of-Birth
Is The Distance Formula is derived from the Pythagorean Theorem?
No.
What is the origin of the quadratic formula?
The quadratic formula is derived by completing the square. That is as much as I can tell you.
Is the e flat higher than e?
No. E-flat is one half step LOWER than E.
What does gradient mean in math terms?
A vector having coordinate components that are the derived during the solving of a function.
