1a T377057 open\text{let}\ {n \to +\infty}
let n+
Too much space around operators when used in limits in MathML mode.

Spaces should appear in normal mode,

limn+(1+1n)n
Spaces should not appear in a limit
2 T375935 Yes Done\lim_{n \to +\infty}\frac{\sqrt{2\pi n} }{n!}\left(\frac{n}{e}\right)^n = 1
