FORMULA
Equals Sum_{n>=0} Sum_{k>=0} 1/(n!*k!). - Fredrik Johansson, Apr 21 2006
Equals Sum_{n>=0} 2^n/n!. - Daniel Hoyt Nov 20 2020
From Peter Bala, Jan 13 2022: (Start)
e^2 = Sum_{n >= 0} 2^n/n!. Faster converging series include
e^2 = 8*Sum_{n >= 0} 2^n/(p(n-1)*p(n)*n!), where p(n) = n^2 - n + 2 and
e^2 = -48*Sum_{n >= 0} 2^n/(q(n-1)*q(n)*n!), where q(n) = n^3 + 5*n - 2.
e^2 = 7 + Sum_{n >= 0} 2^(n+3)/((n+2)^2*(n+3)^2*n!) and
7/e^2 = 1 - Sum_{n >= 0} (-2)^(n+1)*n^2/(n+2)!.
e^2 = 7 + 2/(5 + 1/(7 + 1/(9 + 1/(11 + ...)))) (follows from the fact that A004273 is the continued fraction expansion of tanh(1) = (e^2 - 1)/ (e^2 + 1)). Cf. A001204. (End)
Equals lim_{n->oo} (Sum_{k=1..n} 1/binomial(n,k)^x)^(n^x), for all real x > 1/2 (Furdui, 2013). - Amiram Eldar, Mar 26 2022
