Question

How do I work with Euler's number in Excel?

Answer 1

Please see below.

Explanation:

Excel has an exponential function and a natural log function.

The function is =EXP(value) and it gives the result of `e^(value)` (this is called syntax). For example, to find the value of `e`, we can write =EXP(1). Further if we put a number `x` in A1 and in A2 we put the formula =EXP(A1^2-1), this gives us `e^(x^2-1)`.

In other words, whatever is in the exponent goes in the parentheses.

Similarly the syntax for natural log in Excel is =LN(value).

In other words if we put a number `x` in A1 and in A2 we put the formula =LN(A1^2-1), this gives us `ln(x^2-1)`.
