Experimental Comparison for Constant e using Spreadsheet
Spreadsheet를 활용한 상수 e의 실험적 비교
Abstract
We investigated an irrational constant e and compared its computational methods using spreadsheet. Such methods are based on classical definition, infinite series, continued fraction, infinite product exponential function and accelerated classical method. This kind of work is focused on experimental mathematics using computers in math class. This approach will be helpful for mathematics teachers to teach constant e in their classroom.
