e is usually defined by the equation:
e = limit of (1 + 1/n)^n for n from zero to infinity
The number e was first studied by the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler in the 1720s, although its existence was more or less implied in the work of John Napier, the inventor of logarithms, in 1614. Euler was also the first to use the letter e for it in 1727 (the fact that it is the first letter of his surname is coincidental). As a result, sometimes e is called the Euler Number, the Eulerian Number, or Napier's Constant (but not Euler's Constant).
An effective way to calculate the value of e is not to use the defining equation above, but to use the following infinite sum:
e = 1/0! + 1/1! + 1/2! + 1/3! + 1/4! + ...
