MS Access Exp() Function
The Exp() function in MS Access calculates the exponential value of a number, using the mathematical constant *e* (Euler's number) as the base. In simpler terms, it raises *e* to the power of the number you provide.
Exp(): Definition and Usage
The constant *e*, approximately equal to 2.71828, is the base of natural logarithms. The Exp() function is a fundamental mathematical function frequently used in calculations involving exponential growth or decay. It's particularly useful in scientific, engineering, and financial applications.
