Mathematical constant

A mathematical constant is a number, which has a special meaning for calculations. For example, the constant π (pronounced "pie") means the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.[1][2] This value is always the same for any circle. A mathematical constant is often a real, non-integral number of interest.[3]

In contrast to physical constants, mathematical constants do not come from physical measurements.

Key mathematical constants

The following table contains some important mathematical constants:

Name	Symbol	Value	Meaning
Pi, Archimedes' constant or Ludoph's number	π	≈3.141592653589793	A transcendental number that is the ratio of the length of a circle's circumference to its diameter. It is also the area of the unit circle.
e, Napier's constant or Euler's (pronounced "oilers") number	e	≈2.718281828459045	A transcendental number that is the base of natural logarithms.
Phi, golden ratio	φ	≈1.618033988749894	It is the value of a larger value divided by a smaller value if this is equal to the value of the sum of the values divided by the larger value.
Square root of 2, Pythagoras' constant	√2	≈1.414213562373095	An irrational number that is the length of the diagonal of a square with sides of length 1. This number can not be written as a fraction.

Constants and series

The following table contains a list of constants and series in mathematics, with the following columns:

Value: Numerical value of the constant.
LaTeX: Formula or series in TeX format.
Formula: For use in programs such as Mathematica or Wolfram Alpha.
OEIS: Link to On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS), where the constants are available with more details.
Continued fraction: In the simple form [to integer; frac1, frac2, frac3, ...] (in brackets if periodic)
Type:
- R - Rational number
- I - Irrational number
- T - Transcendental number
- C - Complex number

Note that the list can be ordered correspondingly by clicking on the header title at the top of the table.
