A simple example
program Project1;
{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}

var
  float : Double;
begin
  // E raised to the Power of 1.0 = E
  float := System.Math.Exp(1.0);
  Console.WriteLine('Exp(1.0)  = {0}', float.ToString);
  Console.WriteLine('E         = {0}', float.ToString);

  // E raised to the Power of 2.0
  float := System.Math.Exp(2.0);
  Console.WriteLine('Exp(2.0)  = {0}', float.ToString);

  Console.ReadLine;
end.
   Exp(1.0)  = 2.71828182845905
   E         = 2.71828182845905
   Exp(2.0)  = 7.38905609893065
