Other notable constants and where they show up:
Euler–Mascheroni Constant (integrals and sums involving the harmonic series, Gamma functions)
Catalan’s Constant (certain trigonometric series, lattice Green’s function)
Feigenbaum Constants (logistic map, chaos in dynamical systems)
Khinchin’s Constant (partial quotients in simple continued fractions)
Glaisher–Kinkelin Constant (asymptotic expansions of the Barnes G-function, combinatorial limits and certain product expansions)
Ramanujan’s Constant (complex multiplication of elliptic curves)
Omega Constant (Omega times e to the power of Omega = 1, Lambert W function, x^x^x^... = 2)
- ctrlrsf 2y agoHow do you even know this?
- ska 2y agoSpend some time doing math and you'll pick up a few without noticing. Somewhat path dependent, but they do crop up. See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_constants https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_constants
- rak1507 2y agoWhat do you mean by x^x^x^... = 2? Isn't the solution to that sqrt(2)?
