COMMENTS

Sondow (2006) conjectured that 2/1 and 8/3 are the only partial sums of the Taylor series for e that are also convergents to the simple continued fraction for e. Sondow and Schalm (2008, 2010) proved partial results toward the conjecture. Berndt, Kim, and Zaharescu (2012) proved it in full.
