										Dear srinivas rao
The first references to the constant were published in 1618 in the table of an appendix of a work on logarithms by John Napier. However,  this did not contain the constant itself, but simply a list of  natural  logarithms calculated from the constant. It is assumed that the  table  was written by William Oughtred. The "discovery" of the constant itself is credited to Jacob Bernoulli, who attempted to find the value of the following expression (which is in fact e):
$e = \lim_{n\to\infty} \left( 1 + \frac{1}{n} \right)^n$
The first known use of the constant, represented by the letter b, was in correspondence from Gottfried Leibniz to Christiaan Huygens in 1690 and 1691. Leonhard Euler started to use the letter e for the constant in 1727 or 1728,and the first use of e in a publication was Euler's Mechanica (1736). While in the subsequent years some researchers used the letter c, e was more common and eventually became the standard.

We have Similarly, So if P(x) = a/2 x 2 +bx +c, then and are off opposite sign and hence there must exist a root between the two numbers.

In the listed image can you tell me how beta*gamma = 2 ….. . . .. ??

The value of gamma is still not correct, either printing mistake or you gave me wrong value. The correct value of gamma is below
