Formula

e/2 = lim_{n->infinity} n*(e - (1+1/n)^n). - Benoit Cloitre, Sep 17 2002

e/2 = Product_{n>=1} ((1/n)!)^mu(n), where mu is the Mobius function is an unusual infinite product for this number: (see Millane ref.). - John M. Campbell, Jun 14 2011

10*(this constant) = 5*exp(1) = Sum_{j>=0} j^3/j! [Jolley]. - R. J. Mathar, Oct 03 2011

Equals Sum_{j>=0} (1+j)/(1+2*j)!. - Bruno Berselli, May 25 2015

Equals the coefficient of x in Sum_{m>1} log((1 - x/m!)(1 - 2x/m!)...(1 - (m-1)x/m!)). - M. F. Hasler, Apr 01 2020

Equals Sum_{k>=1} k*(k-1)/(2 * k!). - Amiram Eldar, Aug 10 2020
