# Exponential

Exponential may refer to any of several mathematical topics related to exponentiation, including:

* Exponential function, also:
   * Matrix exponential, the matrix analogue to the above
* Exponential decay, decrease at a rate proportional to value
* Exponential discounting, a specific form of the discount function, used in the analysis of choice over time
* Exponential growth, where the growth rate of a mathematical function is proportional to the function's current value
* Exponential map (Riemannian geometry), in Riemannian geometry
* Exponential map (Lie theory), in Lie theory
* Exponential notation, also known as scientific notation, or standard form
* Exponential object, in category theory
* Exponential time, in complexity theory
* in probability and statistics:
   * Exponential distribution, a family of continuous probability distributions
   * Exponentially modified Gaussian distribution, describes the sum of independent normal and exponential random variables
   * Exponential family, a parametric set of probability distributions of a certain form
   * Exponential smoothing, a technique that can be applied to time series data
* Exponential type
   * Exponential type or function type, in type theory
   * Exponential type in complex analysis
