Exponential Series
Definition
The series is called the exponential series.
(sigma): Greek letter, pronounced “sigma”, denotes summation.
(infinity): infinitely many terms.
: factorial; .
: Euler’s number, approximately .
Convergence
For any real , the series converges with sum
Proof sketch
Use the ratio test:
so it converges for all real .
