The Simple Continued Fraction for $e$
Abstract: In this talk I will give results from my bachelor's thesis. Specifically, I will make explicit connections between linear fractional transformations and continued fractions. Then, using the language of linear algebra, I will prove some basic results which can then be applied to derive the simple continued fraction for $e = [2,1,2,1,1,4,1,1,6,1,\cdots]$.
