Mathematical constants

The following standard mathematical constants are defined in Sage,
along with support for coercing them into GAP, PARI/GP, KASH,
Maxima, Mathematica, Maple, Octave, and Singular::

    sage: pi
    pi
    sage: e             # base of the natural logarithm
    e
    sage: NaN           # Not a number
    NaN
    sage: golden_ratio
    golden_ratio
    sage: log2          # natural logarithm of the real number 2
    log2
    sage: euler_gamma   # Euler's gamma constant
    euler_gamma
    sage: catalan       # the Catalan constant
    catalan
    sage: khinchin      # Khinchin's constant
    khinchin
    sage: twinprime
    twinprime
    sage: mertens
    mertens

Support for coercion into the various systems means that if, e.g.,
you want to create `\pi` in Maxima and Singular, you don't
have to figure out the special notation for each system. You just
type the following::

    sage: maxima(pi)
    %pi
    sage: singular(pi)
    pi
    sage: gap(pi)
    pi
    sage: gp(pi)
    3.141592653589793238462643383     # 32-bit
    3.1415926535897932384626433832795028842   # 64-bit
    sage: pari(pi)
    3.14159265358979
    sage: kash(pi)                    # optional - kash
    3.14159265358979323846264338328
    sage: mathematica(pi)             # optional - mathematica
    Pi
    sage: maple(pi)                   # optional - maple
    Pi
    sage: octave(pi)                  # optional - octave
    3.14159

Arithmetic operations with constants also yield constants, which
can be coerced into other systems or evaluated.

::

    sage: a = pi + e*4/5; a
    pi + 4/5*e
    sage: maxima(a)
    %pi+(4*%e)/5
    sage: RealField(15)(a)           # 15 *bits* of precision
    5.316
    sage: gp(a)
    5.316218116357029426750873360              # 32-bit
    5.3162181163570294267508733603616328824    # 64-bit
    sage: print(mathematica(a))                  # optional - mathematica
     4 E
     --- + Pi
      5

EXAMPLES: Decimal expansions of constants

We can obtain floating point approximations to each of these
constants by coercing into the real field with given precision. For
example, to 200 decimal places we have the following::

    sage: R = RealField(200); R
    Real Field with 200 bits of precision
