dc.descriptionThis note presents an especially short and direct variant of Hermite's proof of the simple continued fraction expansion e = [2,1,2,1,1,4,1,1,6,...] and explains some of the motivation behind it.
dc.description6 pages; only change from published version is that "Riccati" is now spelled correctly
