This number is equal to the sum of the infinite series as n goes from zero to infinity of one over n factorial. First studied as an application of compound interest by Jacob Bernoulli, it is equal to the limit as x approaches infinity of the quantity one plus one over x to t
This number is equal to the sum of the infinite series as n goes from zero to infinity of one over n factorial. First studied as an application of compound interest by Jacob Bernoulli, it is equal to the limit as x approaches infinity of the quantity one plus one over x to the xth power. This number is the only positive real number that, when taken to the xth power, is equal to its derivative. For 10 points, identify this number named for a Swiss mathematician, the base of the natural logarithm, equal to approximately 2.718.
