  2. Exponential function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_function

    The exponential of a variable ⁠ ⁠ is denoted ⁠ ⁡ ⁠ or ⁠ ⁠, with the two notations used interchangeably. It is called exponential because its argument can be seen as an exponent to which a constant number e ≈ 2.718, the base, is raised. There are several other definitions of the exponential function, which are all equivalent ...

  3. e (mathematical constant) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_(mathematical_constant)

    The number e is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 2.71828 that is the base of the natural logarithm and exponential function.It is sometimes called Euler's number, after the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler, though this can invite confusion with Euler numbers, or with Euler's constant, a different constant typically denoted .

  4. Lambert W function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambert_W_function

    In mathematics, the Lambert W function, also called the omega function or product logarithm, [1] is a multivalued function, namely the branches of the converse relation of the function f(w) = we w, where w is any complex number and e w is the exponential function. The function is named after Johann Lambert, who considered a related problem in 1758.

  5. Matrix exponential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_exponential

    The matrix exponential satisfies the following properties. [2] We begin with the properties that are immediate consequences of the definition as a power series: e 0 = I; exp(X T) = (exp X) T, where X T denotes the transpose of X. exp(X ∗) = (exp X) ∗, where X ∗ denotes the conjugate transpose of X. If Y is invertible then e YXY −1 = Ye ...

  6. Characterizations of the exponential function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characterizations_of_the...

    In mathematics, the exponential function can be characterized in many ways. This article presents some common characterizations, discusses why each makes sense, and proves that they are all equivalent. The exponential function occurs naturally in many branches of mathematics. Walter Rudin called it "the most important function in mathematics". [1]

  7. Euler's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_formula

    The exponential function e x for real values of x may be defined in a few different equivalent ways (see Characterizations of the exponential function). Several of these methods may be directly extended to give definitions of e z for complex values of z simply by substituting z in place of x and using the complex algebraic operations. In ...

  8. Modular exponentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_exponentiation

    MATLAB's powermod function from Symbolic Math Toolbox; Wolfram Language has the PowerMod function; Perl's Math::BigInt module has a bmodpow() method to perform modular exponentiation; Raku has a built-in routine expmod. Go's big.Int type contains an Exp() (exponentiation) method whose third parameter, if non-nil, is the modulus

  9. MATLAB - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MATLAB

    MATLAB allows matrix manipulations, plotting of functions and data, implementation of algorithms, creation of user interfaces, and interfacing with programs written in other languages. Although MATLAB is intended primarily for numeric computing, an optional toolbox uses the MuPAD symbolic engine allowing access to symbolic computing abilities.
