Bernoulli is credited with the discovery of this constant when he attempted to find the value of the limit as n approaches infinity of the quantity one plus one over n to the nth power.
Bernoulli is credited with the discovery of this constant when he attempted to find the value of the limit as n approaches infinity of the quantity one plus one over n to the nth power. This constant is used when finding interest compounded continuously and when modeling exponential growth, and it is the base of the natural logarithm. For 10 points, name this constant, approximately equal to 2.71828.
