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.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.

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.
