e is sometimes called Euler's constant, also Napier's constant.

Also, decimal expansion of sinh(1)+cosh(1) - Mohammad K. Azarian (azarian(AT)evansville.edu), Aug 15 2006

If m and n are any integers with n > 1, then |e - m/n| > 1/(S(n)+1)!, where S(n) = A002034(n) is the smallest number such that n divides S(n)!. - Jonathan Sondow (jsondow(AT)alumni.princeton.edu), Sep 04 2006

e = Sum_{k >= 0} 1/k! = lim_{x -> 0} (1+x)^(1/x).

e is the unique positive root of the equation Integral_{u = 1..x} du/u = 1.

exp(1)= (16/31*(sum((1/2)^n*(1/2*n^3+1/2*n+1)/n!,n=1..infinity) +1))^2. Robert Israel confirmed that above formula is correct, saying: "In fact, sum(n^j*t^n/n!, n=0..infinity) = P_j(t)*exp(t) where P_0(t) = 1 and for j >= 1, P_j(t) = t (P_(j-1)'(t) + P_(j-1)(t)). Your sum is 1/2*P_3(1/2) + 1/2*P_1(1/2) + P_0(1/2) ." [From Alexander R. Povolotsky (pevnev(AT)juno.com), Jan 04 2009]
