title: An efficient way to compute mathematical constant e
body: <p>The standard representation of constant e as the sum of the infinite series is very inefficient for computation, because of many division operations. So are there any alternative ways to compute the constant efficiently?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p>
  
  <p>After following some of your links, I believe that efficiency comes from a technique called binary splitting (while the representation is still mentioned series), which I was not familiar with. If someone is familiar with it, feel free to contribute.</p>
