Formula

Equals Sum_{n>=0} 1/exp(n). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jan 30 2015

From Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 13 2018: (Start)

Equals 1 - LambertW(exp(1/(1 - exp(1))) / (1 - exp(1))).

Equals -LambertW(-1, exp(1/(1 - exp(1))) / (1 - exp(1))).

(End)

Equals Sum_{k>=0} (-1)^k*B(k)/k!, where B(k) is the k-th Bernoulli number. - Amiram Eldar, May 08 2021

Equals Integral_{x=0..oo} exp(-floor(x)) dx (Monier). - Bernard Schott, May 08 2022

Equals lim_{n->oo} Sum_{k=1..n} (k/n)^n (via Tannery's theorem). - Stoyan Apostolov, May 24 2022
