How to Enter Euler's Number Into MATLAB

Euler's number is a mathematical constant known by the abbreviation "e." If you are creating a program in the Matlab software system you may need to utilize Euler's number as part of your calculations. You can enter Euler's number to a specific number of decimal points in Matlab by using a few system functions.

Instructions

1. • 1
     Open your Matlab file.
   • 2
     Go to an empty portion of the file where you want to type in Euler's number.
   • 3
     Type "vpa(sym('exp(1)'),x)" into Matlab where "x" is the number of decimal places you want Euler's number to have for your calculations.
   • 4
     Save your Matlab file, then you are done.
