exp - Maple Help

Units[Standard]

 exp
 exponential function

Calling Sequence

 exp(expr) ${ⅇ}^{\mathrm{expr}}$

Parameters

 expr - algebraic expression

Description

 • In the Standard Units environment, the arguments for the exponential functions can be unit-free, or multiplied by a unit with the dimension logarithmic_gain. An error is returned if the dimension of the argument is not one of logarithmic gain.
 • By default, the units of the object returned are a ratio of wave numbers (inverse length). Using energy conversions, this ratio is proportional to a voltage ratio and its square is proportional to a power ratio.
 • Note that the first calling sequence must be entered in 2-D math notation by using either the palettes or command completion. The exponential ${e}^{x}$ will not be recognized if it is entered manually.
 • For other properties, see the global function exp.

Examples

Notes:

 – To enter a unit in 2-D Math input, select the unit from the appropriate Units palette. If the unit you want is not there, select $\mathrm{unit}$ and then enter the unit.
 – When you edit a unit, double brackets appear around it.
