In mathematics, the Gompertz constant or Euler-Gompertz constant, denoted by , appears in integral evaluations and as a value of special functions. It is named after B. Gompertz. It can be defined by the continued fraction : or, alternatively, by : The most frequent appearance of is in the following integrals: : The numerical value of is about : During the studying divergent infinite series Euler met with via, for example, the above integral representations. Le Lionnais called as Gompertz constant by its role in survival analysis.〔 ==Identities involving the Gompertz constant== The constant can be expressed by the exponential integral as : Applying the Taylor expansion of we have that : Gompertz's constant is connected to the Gregory coefficients via the 2013 formula of I.
