Revision as of 22:11, 6 January 2019

This little animation approximates [math]\displaystyle{ e }[/math] (displayed by the horizontal green line) by the sequence (blue line)

[math]\displaystyle{ (1+\frac{1}{n})^n }[/math]

and by the series (black line)

[math]\displaystyle{ \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{1}{n!} }[/math]
