  2. Exponential function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_function

    Exponential functions with bases 2 and 1/2. The exponential function is a mathematical function denoted by () = ⁡ or (where the argument x is written as an exponent).Unless otherwise specified, the term generally refers to the positive-valued function of a real variable, although it can be extended to the complex numbers or generalized to other mathematical objects like matrices or Lie algebras.

  3. Exponentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation

    The exponential function is often defined as , where is Euler's number. To avoid circular reasoning , this definition cannot be used here. So, a definition of the exponential function, denoted exp ⁡ ( x ) , {\displaystyle \exp(x),} and of Euler's number are given, which rely only on exponentiation with positive integer exponents.

  4. Characterizations of the exponential function - Wikipedia

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

    Characterisation 3 involves defining the natural logarithm before the exponential function is defined. First, This means that the natural logarithm of equals the (signed) area under the graph of between and . If , then this area is taken to be negative. Then, is defined as the inverse of , meaning that by the definition of an inverse function.

  5. 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 .

  6. Exponential distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_distribution

    Exponential distribution. In probability theory and statistics, the exponential distribution or negative exponential distribution is the probability distribution of the distance between events in a Poisson point process, i.e., a process in which events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate; the distance parameter could ...

  7. Euler's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_formula

    v. t. e. Euler's formula, named after Leonhard Euler, is a mathematical formula in complex analysis that establishes the fundamental relationship between the trigonometric functions and the complex exponential function. Euler's formula states that, for any real number x, one has where e is the base of the natural logarithm, i is the imaginary ...

  8. Euler's identity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_identity

    In mathematics, Euler's identity[note 1] (also known as Euler's equation) is the equality where. is pi, the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Euler's identity is named after the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler. It is a special case of Euler's formula when evaluated for .
