Description: "All numbers are not created equal; that certain constants appear at all and then echo throughout mathematics, in seemingly independent ways, is a source of fascination." Indulge your fascination, or discover a new one. This site provides well over a hundred constants, each with descriptions, proofs, interesting sidelines, and illustrations. Some are illustrated with Mathcad files (viewable with a free read-only version, linked from the site). Many entries rely on a knowledge of advanced mathematics. Browse the topic-based list or look up constants by numerical value. References and other links are cited.
