Hi, Michael,

e^x = 1 + SUM x^k/k!  
         k=1

e^x - 1 = SUM x^k/k!  
         k=1

(e^x-1)/x = SUM x^(k-1)/k!  
           k=1

Integrate:
{
|(e^x-1)/x = SUM x^k/(k*k!)
}            k=1

Expertise

All topics in first-year calculus including infinite series, max-min and related rate problems. Also trigonometry and complex numbers, theory of equations, exponential and logarithmic functions. I can also try (but not guarantee) to answer questions on Analysis -- sequences, limits, continuity.

Experience

I taught all mathematics subjects from elementary algebra to differential equations at a two-year college in New York City for 25 years.
