SYNOPSIS

#!/usr/bin/env perl6

use v6;
use Math::Constants;

say "We have ", phi, " ", plancks-h, " ",  plancks-reduced-h, " ", 
    c, " ", G, " and ", fine-structure-constant, " plus ",
    elementary-charge, " and ", vacuum-permittivity ;
	
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.
