exponential

1. Of or relating to an exponent.
2. Mathematics.
   1. Containing, involving, or expressed as an exponent.
   2. Expressed in terms of a designated power of e, the base of natural logarithms.

exponentially ex'po·nen'tial·ly adv.

A function of a real variable defined for all real x by the sum to infinity of the (convergent) series

The notation reflects the index property that e^x×e^y=e^x+y. The notation 'exp(x)' is sometimes used for e^x, particularly when x is a complicated algebraic expression. The number e is given by the above series with x=1, so
The exponential and natural logarithm functions are related by exp (ln x)=x for x>0 and ln (e^x)=x for all values of x.
