Description

This function returns the value of Euler’s number (expressed in the maximum precision allowed for a floating point number in Panorama).

eulersnumber() ☞ 2.718282

You can also simply type in Euler’s number using the Mac’s Character Viewer. To open the Character viewer choose Edit>Emoji & Symbols, then click on the Command icon in the upper right. Then look in the Math Symbols section.

ℇ ☞ 2.718282

See Apple Support Note HT201586 for more information about using the Character Viewer panel.

Note: In the past, this function was called eulersconstant(. However, that is mathematicallly incorrect - Euler’s constant is a different number than Euler’s number. Since Panorama users may be relying on the eulersconstant( function to return Euler’s number, we have left the eulersconstant( function as-is, though it is no longer documented (except for this note). If you need to perform a calculation with Euler’s constant instead of Euler’s number, you’ll need to manually type the number 0.577215664901532 into your formula. There is no function that returns Euler’s constant.
