Andrew Dalke:
|I've seen the proof that e is irrational, but don't recall the details.
|The sketch you outlined isn't sufficient. Consider
|
| sum(n=1..inf, 1/n^2) = 1 + 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + ... = 2
|
|For any finite N in the sum 1..N, the denominator is infinitely large,
|but the infinite sum is an integer.
Good point. Thanks for the correction.
