# Introduction In this lab, we will explore how to approximate the mathematical constant e using its series expansion in C. The series for e is defined as the sum of the reciprocals of factorials: e = 1 + 1/1! + 1/2! + 1/3! + ... We will first create a C program to calculate this series approximation, and then modify it to sum the terms until a desired level of accuracy is reached. This allows us to control the precision of our calculation and obtain a more accurate approximation of e.
