Syntax#

\exp

Takes no arguments. In base. Reading argspecs

\expd<(,)><[,]><{,}>(a)optional math content

Argspec d<(,)><[,]><{,}> — one optional argument. In physics. Reading argspecs

\exp(x)

Prefer \exp(...) when the power would be too tall as a superscript.

\exp\bigl( -\tfrac{(x-\mu)^2}{2\sigma^2} \bigr)

e^{i\pi}+1=0

\exp(x)

Package	Signature	Allowed mode	Notes
`base`		math	Used for the exponential function in analysis, calculus, and differential equations
`physics`	`d<(,)><[,]><{,}>`	math	Used for exponential-function notation, often as \exp x or \exp(x) in physics-style documents.

TeXForm parses this entry as prefix syntax; the package determines its argument specification.

Expand the physics auto-sized argument of exp, det, and Pr into an explicit fence.

\exp{#1} \exp\left\{#1\right\}
