Mathematical Constants
Mathematica incorporates the latest algorithms—some original to Wolfram Research—for evaluating mathematical constants to any number of digits of precision. For basic constants like and , millions of digits can routinely be computed in seconds.
Pi () — pi (entered as Esc p Esc)
E () — exponential constant (entered as Esc ee Esc "exponential ")
Degree (°) — conversion factor from radians to degrees (entered as Esc deg Esc)
GoldenRatio — golden ratio
EulerGamma — Euler's constant
StieltjesGamma — Stieltjes constants
Catalan — Catalan's constant
Glaisher — Glaisher's constant
Khinchin — Khinchin's constant
ChampernowneNumber — Champernowne numbers
    
Infinity  ▪ ComplexInfinity  ▪ DirectedInfinity  ▪ Indeterminate  ▪ Undefined
    
I () — (entered as Esc ii Esc "imaginary ")
Root — general root of a polynomial
    
N — evaluate to any precision
RealDigits — list of digits
ContinuedFraction — continued fraction expansion
FullSimplify — simplify symbolic expressions involving constants
