### How to compute $\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}e^{-n}\left(1+n+\frac{n^2}{2!}\cdots+\frac{n^n}{n!}\right)$ [duplicate]

There is a probabilistic method to solve it. But I am not familiar with probability. I am trying to compute it by analytic method, such as using L Hospital's rule or Stolz formula, but they are not ...

### Limit of a series (Gamma distribution) [duplicate]

How does one calculate $$\lim_{n\to\infty}e^{-n}\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}\frac{n^k}{k!}?$$ Numerically it is somewhat close to $\frac12$. But to prove that I am going around a circle! Thanks for any help.

Similar to this problem, how can one compute the following limit: $$\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{1}{\log n}\sum_{k=1}^n\left(1-\frac{1}{n}\right)^k\frac{1}{k}\quad ?$$ Note that $$\log x = ... 1answer 260 views ### Probability and Laplace/Fourier transforms to solve limits/integrals from calculus.

I wonder how to calculate the following limit: $$\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\frac{1+n+\frac{{}n^{2}}{2!}+\cdots +\frac{n^{n}}{n!}}{e^{n}}$$ In the first sight, I think it should be zero, because ...
Evaluate the limit: $$\lim_{n \to \infty}e^{-n}\sum_{k = 0}^n \frac{n^k}{k!}$$ It is not as easy as it seems and the answer is definitely not 1. Please help in solving it.
