EulerGamma​(PeterO.​Numbers.​EContext)

 Method (no overloads)

Summary

Euler's constant, gamma = lim (1 + 1/2 + ... + 1/n - ln n), to the precision of
work, by Brent and McMillan's algorithm B1: with
B_k = (n^k/k!)^2 and A_k = B_k (H_k - ln n), gamma is
sum A_k/sum B_k to within pi e^(-4n), so n is a quarter of the
digits' ln 10. The terms stay positive past k = n, where they are largest,
and ten guard digits cover what the first ones cancel.
