Re: A Special Number

Hi ganesh;

In order to identify that number since I don't immediately recognize it, can you provide more digits. Then I will PSLQ it.

Re: A Special Number

Looks like it's e^(1/e).


Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.

Re: A Special Number

Thats the Number. It is special because n^n^n^n.... ad infinitum is  finite and nth root of n is maximum n. Both the properties are applicable.
Exellent, Both mathsy and bobby.
