unusual facts about Exponential function


Floating-point unit

Some systems (particularly older, microcode-based architectures) can also perform various transcendental functions such as exponential or trigonometric calculations, though in most modern processors these are done with software library routines.

FEE method

A class of functions, which are 'similar to the exponential function' was given the name 'E-functions' by Siegel.

Pfaffian function

In the 1990s, Alex Wilkie showed that one has the same result if instead of adding every analytic function, one just adds the exponential function to R to get the ordered real field with exponentiation, Rexp, a result known as Wilkie's theorem.
