SpeedCrunch provides a large collection of built-in scientific constants. In the Constants widget, each entry has:
a translated display Name
an optional Symbol
a numeric Value
an optional Unit
Double-clicking a constant entry inserts the expression used for that constant: mathematical constants such as π use their symbolic form, while numeric scientific constants insert their value (followed by unit, when present).
Constants in the widget can be filtered by category and subcategory.
Added in version 1.0.
The mathematical constant π. Since π is an irrational number, the value is an
approximation with as much precision as SpeedCrunch allows. This constant may be
referred to either as pi or as π (Unicode U+03C0 GREEK SMALL LETTER PI).
The following Unicode variants are also accepted and normalized to π:
𝜋 (U+1D70B), 𝝅 (U+1D745), 𝞹 (U+1D7B9), 𝛑 (U+1D6D1).
In displayed expressions/results, SpeedCrunch renders these forms as π and
also displays standalone pi as π.
The mathematical constant e. The value is an approximation with as much precision
as SpeedCrunch supports. This constant may be referred to either as e or as
ℯ (Unicode U+212F SCRIPT SMALL E).
These are aliases for the imaginary unit such that i ^ 2 = -1 and
j ^ 2 = -1.
The displayed symbol used in formatted results can be selected in
as either i (default) or j.
Using this constant, complex numbers are expressed as the sum of a real and an imaginary part:
c = 4 + 2i
