I have tried the Riemann sum also but couldn't find the answer.

Note that




  • $sum_{n=1}^{infty}frac{n^2}{n!} = sum_{n=1}^{infty}frac{n}{(n-1)!}$

  • $e^x =sum_{n=0}^{infty}frac{x^n}{n!} Rightarrow xe^x = sum_{n=0}^{infty}frac{x^{n+1}}{n!}$

  • $left( xe^x right)' = (1+x)e^x = sum^{infty}_{color{blue}{n=0}}frac{(n+1)x^{n}}{n!} stackrel{i = n+1}{=} sum^{infty}_{color{blue}{i=1}}frac{ix^{i-1}}{(i-1)!}$


$$Rightarrow sum_{n=1}^{infty}frac{n^2}{n!} = sum_{n=1}^{infty}frac{n}{(n-1)!} = (1+1)e = 2e$$

    Hint



    Consider
    $$S=sum_{n=0}^infty frac {n^2}{n!}x^n=sum_{n=0}^infty frac {n(n-1)+n}{n!}x^n=sum_{n=0}^infty frac {n(n-1)}{n!}x^n+sum_{n=0}^infty frac {n}{n!}x^n$$ that is to say
    $$S=x^2sum_{n=0}^infty frac {n(n-1)}{n!}x^{n-2}+xsum_{n=0}^infty frac {n}{n!}x^{n-1}$$



    When finished, let $x=1$.
