NAME

PDL::Constants -- basic compile time constants for PDL

DESCRIPTION

This module is used to define compile time constant values for PDL. It uses the constant module for simplicity and availability. We'll need to sort out exactly which constants make sense but PI and E seem to be fundamental.

SYNOPSIS

use PDL::Constants qw(PI E);
print 'PI is ' . PI . "\n";
print 'E  is ' .  E . "\n";

PI

The ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter

E

The base of the natural logarithms or Euler's number

I

The imaginary unit, I*I == -1

J

The imaginary unit for engineers, J*J == -1
