Recall the exponential function's power series,
The given sum has instead of . We can adjust the given sum to get something usable. Notice that in the series expansion for , the degree of starts at 0, while in the given series, the degree starts at 1. We can actually rewrite the given series so that it starts at a different index:
Then this is exactly without the term. When , we have , so
