We're glad you came by, but you might find what you're looking for elsewhere. TI-Basic Developer is not the site it once was. While its information on commands and other calculator features remains almost second-to-none, its forum, archives, and even hosting service, Wikidot, have been decaying for years. The calculator community would love to see what you're working on, or help you in your next coding adventure, but TI-Basic Developer is no longer the place to do it. Instead, you should head over to Cemetech (primarily American) or TI-Planet (primarily international). Both are active, well-established forums with their own archives, chatrooms, reference material, and abundant coding tools and resources. We'll see you there, we hope. |
e is a constant on the TI-83 series calculators. The constant holds the approximate value of Euler's number, fairly important in calculus and other higher-level mathematics.
The approximate value, to as many digits as stored in the calculator, is 2.718281828459…
The main use of e is as the base of the exponential function e^( (which is also a separate function on the calculator), and its inverse, the natural logarithm ln(. From these functions, others such as the trigonometric functions (e.g. sin() and the hyperbolic functions (e.g. sinh() can be defined. In re^θi mode, e is used in an alternate form of expressing complex numbers.
Important as the number e is, nine times out of ten you won't need the constant itself when using your calculator, but rather the e^( and ln( functions.
