   Re: lim n->oo problem solvable by CAS on

   You see you computed:   
      
      f(10000.) is about 0.632223583408565   
      
   But we have:   
      
      lim n->oo f(n) = 1 - 1/e   
      
                     = 0.6321205588285576784044762298385...   
      
   The closed form solution 1 - 1/e, can it be   
   produced by some CAS nowaday.
