Constants are located anywhere and everywhere in mathematics.

In mathematics, constants are fixed values that do not change. They can be located in various places, depending on the specific context. For example, in algebraic equations, constants are typically represented by specific letters or symbols and are found alongside variables. In geometric formulas, constants may be included as part of the formula itself. Constants can also be defined and used in mathematical functions, formulas, or mathematical theories.
The constants effect the shifts being vertical. EX. y=x+1 Normally the function would be y=x, but the (+1) Shifts the function up 1
It is a number that comes up in math and is independent of the physical measurement. Some examples that are well know are e and pi. As the name implies, the numbers do not change---they are constant. Usually math constants are real and not imaginary numbers.
Variables change, constants do not.
The acceptable convention says uppercase letters are used for sets and matrices and lowercase letters are for variables, constants and vectors. Greek letters are mainly used for constants, such as pi=3.14 and e=2.718.
It means multiplying with constants from a non metric system (such as length using yards, feet, inches) to a metric system (using meters)
