  2.                Generating the Value of 'e' 
  3.  
  4.     The constant 'e' is the base of the system of natural logarithms.
  5.  
  6.     The defining function of is:
  7.  
  8.              f(n) = (1+1/n)^n     as n increases without limit.
  9.             
  10.     Let's see how the function converges to 'e' as n increases:
  11.  
  12.                     f(1) =  
  13.                    f(10) =  
  14.                   f(100) =             
  15.                  f(1000) =          
  16.                 f(10000) =            
  17.                f(100000) =           
  18.               f(1000000) =          
  19.              f(10000000) =      
  20.  
  21.                        e =
