The methodused was to compute first the alternating series for 1/e, then to invert this result. The time to compute 1/e was about 594seconds, and the time to invert was about 97 seconds. No special optimization was attempted on the code, other thanthe default vectorization that the cft77 compiler attempts to do.2.718281828459045235360287471352662497 75724709369995957496696762772407663035354759457138217852516642742746639193200305 99218174135966290435729003342952605956307381323286279434907632338298807531952510 19011573834187930702154089149934884167509244761460668082264800168477411853742345 44243710753907774499206955170276183860626133138458300075204493382656029760673711 32007093287091274437470472306969772093101416928368190255151086574637721112523897 ...
