Advice: E is not defined
The base of natural logarithms,
, is not a standard constant in Maple. It was denoted by
E
up to Maple V Release 3, but this is not a predefined constant any more. The preferred way to refer to this number is
exp(1)
. If you wish, you can assign this value to the variable
E
:
> E:= exp(1);
But it is usually better to use exp(t) rather than E^t in formulas, as this is easier for Maple to simplify.
In typeset output
exp(t)
is shown as
. Note that this
is in a different font than the ordinary letter
.
