A definition of the exponential function that has found application in numerous approximation schemes is \(e^x = \lim_{y\to\infty} \left(1+\frac{x}{y}\right)^y\).

Another common definition of the exponential function to the natural basis, \(e^x\), comes from writing it as the series \(e^x = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac{x^k}{k!}\).

In Einstein's general relativity, the field equation \(\mathcal{G} = - \frac{8\pi G}{c^4} \mathcal{T}\) relates spacetime curvature (\(\mathcal{G}\)) to its mass-energy content (\(\mathcal{T}\)).
