Terms in the sum begin: 1 + (1 + e)/1 + (1 + e + e^2)/2 + (1 + e + e^2 + e^3)/6 + ... .
The largest term in the sum is at n = 2, where that term is 5.5536... .
The double sum converges to a similar algebraic form using any base for exponentiation. For instance, using Pi as the base shows the general closed form:
Pi*(e^Pi - e)/(Pi - 1), which equals 29.9584963... .
As the base approaches 1, the ratio converges to 2e = Sum_{n>0} Sum_{k=0..n} 1/n! = 5.43656... . See A019762.
FORMULA
