Missing exp(1) in Algorithm B.1, page 426. #4

The code for Algorithm B.1 on page 426 seems to be missing a "exp(1)" after the last + sign.

Oh, wow, good catch! It looks like the euler constant (generated by \euler within Julia) was used in the source code, but surprisingly the DejaVu Sans Mono font doesn't seem to support this symbol; see this, though the non-monospaced version does support EULER CONSTANT. I think it is Unicode U+2107. @tawheeler what do you recommend? Just go with exp(1)?

Also, it doesn't show up in print elsewhere in the book, so that is a relief.

Fixed!
