%N A332324 Decimal expansion of the minimum value of the 4th Maclaurin polynomial of e^x.
%C A332324 Let p(n,x) denote the n-th Maclaurin polynomial of e^x, and let p'(n,x) denote its derivative. Then p'(n+1,x) = p(n,x), so that the real zero of p(n,x), for odd n, is also the value of x that minimizes p(n+1,x).  See A117605 for the (negated) real zero p(3,x).
