### Summation of exponential series [duplicate]

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.

### Asymptotics of $\sum_{i=0}^{n} \frac{i n^i}{i!}$.

How can you calculate the asymptotics of $\sum_{i=0}^{n} \frac{i n^i}{i!}$ ? This sum looks similar to the power series for $e^n$. I have also seen similar problems solved using Poisson distributions ...

### Finding $\lim_{n\to\infty} e^{-n}\sum_{k=0}^n \frac{n^k}{k!}$ if it exists [duplicate]

Does there exist the following limitation? If the answer is yes, could you show me how to find that? $$\lim_{n\to\infty} e^{-n}\sum_{k=0}^n \frac{n^k}{k!}$$ In the following, I'm going to write what ...

### $\lim_{n\to\infty} e^{-n}\sum_{k=1}^n \frac{n^k}{k!}$ [duplicate]

How can be evaluated this limit: $$\lim_{n\to\infty} e^{-n}\sum_{k=1}^n \frac{n^k}{k!} .$$ Thank you.
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.
