Consider an extension of exp(x) to an intriguing function, expim(x,y), defined by the power series Sum_{n=0..inf}(x^n/c_n), where c_0 = 1, c_n = c_(n-1)*(n+y*I), so that exp(x) = expim(x,0). The current sequence regards the real part of expim(1,1). The decimal expansion of the imaginary part is in A231533 and that of the absolute value in A231534.
