| Number | notes | ||
| 1. | Phi | The most natural number not in {1, 2, ...} | |
| 2. | i | An imaginary number--come on, who doesn't love that idea? | |
| 3. | 0 | The denial of 0 kept the greeks from discovering calculus--that's pretty impressive. | |
| 4. | 1 | From which all integers arise! | |
| 5. | e | Euler's constant; comes up in unexpected places. |
Pi doesn't get a mention in the top five, because pi is overrated!

I would have agreed at some point, but i is just weird and crazy. Totally conceptual, doesn't signify anything physical (or merely the lack of anything physical). I'm all about numbers that can't be used on a tax form!
