2. Proportionality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportionality_(mathematics)

   Given such a constant k, the proportionality relation ∝ with proportionality constant k between two sets A and B is the equivalence relation defined by {(,): =}. A direct proportionality can also be viewed as a linear equation in two variables with a y-intercept of 0 and a slope of k > 0, which corresponds to linear growth.

   For example, the constant π may be defined as the ratio of the length of a circle's circumference to its diameter. The following list includes a decimal expansion and set containing each number, ordered by year of discovery. The column headings may be clicked to sort the table alphabetically, by decimal value, or by set.

4. Constant (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant_(mathematics)

   [1] [2] The terms mathematical constant or physical constant are sometimes used to distinguish this meaning. [3] A function whose value remains unchanged (i.e., a constant function). [4] Such a constant is commonly represented by a variable which does not depend on the main variable(s) in question.

5. Proportionality - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportionality

   Proportionality (mathematics), the property of two variables being in a multiplicative relation to a constant; Ratio, of one quantity to another, especially of a part compared to a whole Fraction (mathematics) Aspect ratio or proportions; Proportional division, a kind of fair division; Percentage, a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100

6. e (mathematical constant) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_(mathematical_constant)

   If the constant of proportionality is negative, then the quantity decreases over time, and is said to be undergoing exponential decay instead. The law of exponential growth can be written in different but mathematically equivalent forms, by using a different base , for which the number e is a common and convenient choice: x ( t ) = x 0 ⋅ e k ...

7. Mathematical constant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_constant

   The constant π (pi) has a natural definition in Euclidean geometry as the ratio between the circumference and diameter of a circle. It may be found in many other places in mathematics: for example, the Gaussian integral, the complex roots of unity, and Cauchy distributions in probability. However, its ubiquity is not limited to pure mathematics.

8. Proportion (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportion_(mathematics)

   A proportion is a mathematical statement expressing equality of two ratios. [1] [2]: =: a and d are called extremes, b and c are called means.. Proportion can be written as =, where ratios are expressed as fractions.

9. Exponential growth - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_growth

   If the constant of proportionality is negative, then the quantity decreases over time, and is said to be undergoing exponential decay instead. In the case of a discrete domain of definition with equal intervals, it is also called geometric growth or geometric decay since the function values form a geometric progression.
