Calculate e = 2.718281828459

e is a number that comes up in financial application problems and in nature. It is sometimes called the natural number. It is defined in terms of a limit: (1+1/n)^n and it is the base of the natural exponential growth and logarithmic functions. You will get a more accurate value for e everytime you increase n in the expression: (1 + 1/n)n.

n = 1,   e ≈ 2,   error = 0.71828182845905   relative error = 26.424111765712%
