1 Joural of Mathematics Research September, 009 New Approximatios to the Mathematical Costat e Sajay Kumar Khattri Correspodig author) Stord Haugesud Uiversity College Bjørsosgate 45 PO box 558, Haugesud, Norway Tel: sajay.khattri@hsh.o Abstract Based o the Newto-Cotes ad Gaussia quadrature rules, we develop several ew closed form approximatios to the mathematical costat e. For validatig effectiveess of our approximatios, a compariso of our results to the existig approximatios is also preseted. Because of the level of mathematics, the preseted work is easily embraceable i a udergraduate class. Aother aim of this work is to ecourage studets for formulatig other better approximatios by usig the suggested strategy. Keywords: Mathematical costat, Closed form approximatio, Quadrature. Itroductio The umber e is oe of the most fudametal umbers i mathematics. This umber is also referred to as Euler s umber or Napier s costat. I this work, we develop several ew closed form approximatios to the mathematical costat e through quadrature rules. Classically the umber e is defied as = lim + ) ) Let us call this defiitio the Euler s e Ee). First year udergraduate studets are exposed to cocepts of limits ad quadrature. By usig these cocepts, we are further refiig the limit ). Based o this work, teacher ca ask studets to formulate eve better approximatios to the mathematical costat e. Figure presets a graph of the fuctio /x. The area uder the graph ad betwee the vertical lies x = ad x = + is give as + x dx For formig various closed form approximatios to e, we use quadrature rule for approximatig the itegral.

Studets fid it very appealig that simple techiques gives us the closed form approximatio which improves accuracy from two digits to twety five digits. 0. Numerical Work For performig computatios to high accuracy, we are usig the C ++ library ARPREC D. H. Bailey, 00). Let us ow briefly metio existig relatios for represetig mathematical costat e. Kox 999) ad Brothers 998) have also developed some very ice closed form approximatios to the mathematical costat e. The Table ) displays closed form formulae developed i Kox 999) ad Brothers 998). Reader ca observe that the formulae B, B, B3, B4, B5, B ad B7 are ot defied for =. O the other had, formulae ), 3), 4), 5), ), 7), 8) ad 9) aried for =. Let us ow compare our formulae with the formulae preseted i the Table. For = 00, Table presets error i approximatig e through differet closed form approximatios. Here, error is equal to the exact value of the mathematical costat e mius the value give by differet approximatios. From the Table, it ca be iferred that the approximatios developed by us are more accurate. It is also obvious that our formulae are computatioally efficiet. For example, i the Table the formula B7 gives most accurate approximatio. The reader ca see that for evaluatig B7, we eed to evaluate B ad B5. Ad, for computig B, we eed to compute B3 ad B4. Ad for computig B4, we eed to compute ACM ad B. Ad so o. I the differet defiitios of the costat e through formulae ), 3), 4), 5), ), 7), 8) ad 9). It ca be see that for large values of, all of these formulae behaves as: + ) ) Let us call this defiitio, the Gauss e GE). The reader ca observe that the GE is modestly differet tha the classical defiitio ). To see why this defiitio of e is more accurate tha the classical defiitio of e. Let us compute e from these two defiitios for = 000. From the classical defiitio, we get e =, Which is accurate oly till 3 decimal places. While from GE we get e =, Ad, which is e accurate till decimal places. It is ideed a substatial improvemet over classical result. We are just chagig the classical defiitio slightly. Let us ow observe a iterestig coectio betwee the formula MIM see Table ) ad our formulae GE 0). For = 000, MIM gives e =, While from GE we get e =, Both of these values are accurate till decimal places. Thus, both of these formulae are givig same order of accuracy. This lead us to believe that they must be the same formulae. The readers are ecouraged to see it for themselves. Replacig by 0.5) i GE 0), we 9

Coclusios We have developed several closed form approximatios to the mathematical costat e. Numerical compariso study validate the effectiveess of our results over the existig closed form approximatios. The other mai aim of this work is to ecourage udergraduate studets for developig ew approximatios. The strategy preseted i this paper is easily adoptable i a udergraduate class. Based o the work preseted i this paper, teachers ca ask studets to further develop ew approximatios by usig various other quadratures.
