Constants

Pi (π)
Ratio of circumference to diameter of any circle. Irrational and transcendental.
Euler's Number (e)
Base of the natural logarithm. Defined as lim(n→∞) (1 + 1/n)ⁿ. Irrational and transcendental.
Golden Ratio (φ)
The positive root of x² = x + 1. Appears in geometry, sequences, and continued fractions.
√2
Diagonal of a unit square. First known irrational number.
√3
Height of an equilateral triangle with side 2. Appears in 30-60-90 triangles and hexagonal geometry.
√5
Appears in the golden ratio and Fibonacci geometry.
ln 2
Natural logarithm of 2. Useful in integration and series approximations.
ln 10
Conversion factor between natural and common logarithms: log₁₀x = ln x / ln 10.
log₁₀ 2
Used in number of digits problems: number of digits of n = ⌊log₁₀ n⌋ + 1.
log₁₀ 3
Together with log 2, generates log values for 4, 6, 8, 9, 12 without a calculator.

Powers of 2
Essential for combinatorics, binary, and inequalities.
Powers of 3
Factorials
Required for permutations, combinations, and series expansions.
Useful π Approximations
22/7 overestimates π by about 0.04%. Use 3.14159 when precision matters.
Degree–Radian Conversion
Standard Angles in Radians
Prime Numbers up to 100
25 primes below 100. Useful in number theory, GCD/LCM, and modular arithmetic problems.
Perfect Squares
1² through 20².
Perfect Cubes
1³ through 10³.
Series for e
Converges rapidly — 10 terms give e to 7 decimal places.
Leibniz Formula for π
Converges very slowly — shown for conceptual value, not computation.
Euler–Mascheroni Constant (γ)
Appears in asymptotic analysis of harmonic series. Rarely tested directly but good to know.
AM–GM Bound Reference
The most-used inequality in JEE optimisation problems.
Cauchy–Schwarz Reference
Equality holds when aᵢ/bᵢ is constant for all i.
