  2. List of mathematical constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_constants

    For example, the constant π may be defined as the ratio of the length of a circle's circumference to its diameter. The following list includes a decimal expansion and set containing each number, ordered by year of discovery. The column headings may be clicked to sort the table alphabetically, by decimal value, or by set.

  3. Mathematical constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_constant

    The circumference of a circle with diameter 1 is π.. A mathematical constant is a number whose value is fixed by an unambiguous definition, often referred to by a special symbol (e.g., an alphabet letter), or by mathematicians' names to facilitate using it across multiple mathematical problems. [1]

  4. List of physical constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_physical_constants

    The constants listed here are known values of physical constants expressed in SI units; that is, physical quantities that are generally believed to be universal in nature and thus are independent of the unit system in which they are measured. Many of these are redundant, in the sense that they obey a known relationship with other physical ...

  5. Constant (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant_(mathematics)

    As an adjective, it refers to non-variance (i.e. unchanging with respect to some other value); as a noun, it has two different meanings: A fixed and well-defined number or other non-changing mathematical object, or the symbol denoting it. [1] [2] The terms mathematical constant or physical constant are sometimes used to distinguish this meaning ...

  6. Feigenbaum constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feigenbaum_constants

    To see how this number arises, consider the real one-parameter map =. Here a is the bifurcation parameter, x is the variable. The values of a for which the period doubles (e.g. the largest value for a with no period-2 orbit, or the largest a with no period-4 orbit), are a 1, a 2 etc. These are tabulated below: [7]

  7. Coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient

    A constant coefficient, also known as constant term or simply constant, is a quantity either implicitly attached to the zeroth power of a variable or not attached to other variables in an expression; for example, the constant coefficients of the expressions above are the number 3 and the parameter c, involved in 3=c ⋅ x 0.

  8. Constant of integration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant_of_integration

    For example, to obtain the antiderivative of ⁡ that has the value 400 at x = π, then only one value of will work (in this case =). The constant of integration also implicitly or explicitly appears in the language of differential equations. Almost all differential equations will have many solutions, and each constant represents the unique ...

  9. Arithmetic progression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_progression

    This sum can be found quickly by taking the number n of terms being added (here 5), multiplying by the sum of the first and last number in the progression (here 2 + 14 = 16), and dividing by 2: (+) In the case above, this gives the equation:
