exponential
A function of a real variable defined for all real x by the sum to infinity of the (convergent) series
ex=1+x+x2/2!+x3/3!+....
The notation reflects the index property that ex×ey=ex+y. The notation 'exp(x)' is sometimes used for ex, particularly when x is a complicated algebraic expression. The number e is given by the above series with x=1, soe=1+1+1/2!+1/3!+...≈ 2.718 28.
The exponential and natural logarithm functions are related by exp (ln x)=x for x>0 and ln (ex)=x for all values of x.
