List of Representations of E - As An Infinite Product

As An Infinite Product

The number e is also given by several infinite product forms including Pippenger's product

and Guillera's product

$e = \left ( \frac{2}{1} \right )^{1/1} \left (\frac{2^2}{1 \cdot 3} \right )^{1/2} \left (\frac{2^3 \cdot 4}{1 \cdot 3^3} \right )^{1/3} \left (\frac{2^4 \cdot 4^4}{1 \cdot 3^6 \cdot 5} \right )^{1/4} \cdots ,$

where the nth factor is the nth root of the product

as well as the infinite product

Famous quotes containing the words infinite and/or product:

“The etymologist finds the deadest word to have been once a brilliant picture. Language is fossil poetry. As the limestone of the continent consists of infinite masses of the shells of animalcules, so language is made up of images or tropes, which now, in their secondary use, have long ceased to remind us of their poetic origin.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Evil is committed without effort, naturally, fatally; goodness is always the product of some art.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
