Blogging with LaTeX

Then you can simply write
$$e = \lim_{n\to\infty}\left(1 + \frac{1}{n}\right)^n$$
or
$$e = \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{1}{n\fact} = \frac{1}{0\fact} + \frac{1}{1\fact} + \frac{1}{2\fact} + \ldots$$

and get

(As ashamed as I am, I'm illiterate in , so I might have written the formula not the best way possible, I just put it here as a proof of concept.)

By the way, recently I'm just fascinated by the constant e. It keeps popping up in the proofs for correctness and convergence of randomized gossip algorithms we study these days. I really regret why I didn't pay enough attention in the math classes, I wished I could free up some time and go back and study some real analysis and some linear algebra. Also some more graph theory... if I could I might have considered changing my field and go study math....

Another by the way! I'm buried (as usual) with my course work and my move to Switzerland (effective from September 2007) has added more complications to the situation, so you shouldn't expect this blog to be updated regularly for some time. Thanks for your understanding! :D
