Also, e is the sum of the series
Another approach, but not a recommended one, is to make of one these properties the definition of e. Then exp x would be defined as
and exp x, ln x would be defined as its inverse function, and the properties of these functions would have to be proved.
The value of e is 2.718 281 83 (to 8 decimal places). The proof that e is irrational is comparatively easy. In 1873, Hermite proved that e is transcendental, and his proof was subsequently simplified by Hilbert.
