exp()

The exponential function is used to calculate powers of e. Given a complex number, x, the exp(x) function calculates e to the power of x (i.e. ex)

Syntax
y = exp(x)

Arguments

Name	Description	Range	Type	Required
x	number	(-∞, ∞)	integer, real, complex	yes

Examples

a = exp(1)
returns 2.71828
b = exp(1+j1)
returns 1.469 + j*2.287

Notes/Equations

If
x = a+j*b
then
ex = ea+j*b = (ea)*(ej*b) = (ea)*(cos(b)+j*sin(b))
