MathMatize Math Constants

Overview of constants accepted in math input fields

Constants

The following is a list of constants and symbols recognized by the MathMatize math engine. Typing the following symbol name in the math input field triggers a macro that properly escapes the symbol name. However, when copying and pasting text (and sometimes when an expression is edited after initial input) the macro can fail to trigger. MathMatize will warn the user to retype the unescaped symbol name if it is intended to be parsed as a symbol otherwise it will be interpreted as an implicitly multiplied product.

π : Typing "pi" will trigger the macro and print the symbol π (value: 3.14..., latex: \pi).

∞ : Infinity. Typing inf will trigger the macro and print the symbol ∞ (latex: \infty).

° : Degree. Typing "deg" will trigger the macro and print the symbol ° (value: π/180, latex: \degree). With this definition sin(π) and sin(180°) will both evaluate to 0.

% : Percent. Typing % will automatically trigger the escape (value: 1/100, latex: \%) Therefore, e.g. 5% will equal 0.05.

e : Euler's constant 2.718.... The symbol e does not need to be escaped.

i : Unit imaginary \sqrt(-1). The symbol i does not need to be escaped.
