	Constant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Constants are by convention usually denoted by lower-case letters from the beginning of the English alphabet, such as a, b, and c.
		In a polynomial (or a generalisation of a polynomial, such as a Taylor series or Fourier expansion), the constant term is associated to the exponent zero.
		For some purposes, the constant is taken to be the value of f(0), but this depends on the function being defined at 0; it would not work for f(x)=1-1/x.
