say "And also  φ ", φ, " α ", α,  " ℎ ",  ℎ, " and ℏ ", ℏ,
    " with e ", e, " and ε0 ", ε0;

say "We are flying at speed ", .1c;

DESCRIPTION

Math::Constants is a collection of Math and Physics constants that will save you the trouble of defining them.

Constants included

• Gravitational constant as G.
• Speed of light as c. It works also as a suffix for expressing speeds, as in 3c for 3 times the speed of light.
• Planck constant and reduced constant in J/s as plancks-h or ℎ and plancks-reduced-h or ℏ.
• Golden ratio as phi or φ.
• Several electronic constants: α and the elementary charge and vacuum permittivity.
• Feigenbaum constants as alpha-feigenbaum-constant and delta-feigenbaum-constant.
• Apéry's constant as apery-constant.
• Conway's constant as conway-constant and λ.
• Khinchin's constant as khinchin-constant and k0.
• Glaisher–Kinkelin constant as glaisher-kinkelin-constant and A.
• Golomb–Dickman constant as golomb-dickman-constant.
• Catalan's constant as catalan-constant.
• Mill's constant as mill-constant.
• Gauss's constant as gauss-constant.
• Euler–Mascheroni constant as euler-mascheroni-gamma and γ.
• Sierpiński's constant as sierpinski-gamma and k.
