It is defined as the limit as n goes to infinity of the sum from k equals 1 to n of 1 over k – the natural log of n.
It is defined as the limit as n goes to infinity of the sum from k equals 1 to n of 1 over k – the natural log of n. It has been suggested that the number of Mersenne primes less than x is approximated by the log base 2 of x multiplied by e to this constant. Also, if a large positive integer N is divided by each positive integer j less than N, then the average fraction by which N over j falls short of the next integer is not as would be expected, but again is this constant. It is still unsure whether it is transcendental or not. FTP, name this constant, with value approximately .577 and named for a Swiss mathematician
