$$sum_{k=1}^infty mathrm{(1-frac{1}{k})}^{mathrm{k}^{2}}$$
I tried using the limit comparison test with $$sum_{k=1}^infty mathrm{(1-frac{1}{k})}^{mathrm{k}^{}}$$ but this leads to a limit of 0, which doesn't help. I think this may involve some use of
$mathrm{e}^x$, but I don't know where else to start. Any suggestions?

    The root test works. Consider
    $$lim sup sqrt[k]{left(1 - frac{1}{k}right)^{k^2}} = lim sup left(1 - frac{1}{k}right)^k = e^{-1} < 1,$$
    hence the series converges.

      The ratio test is also interesting
      $$a_k=left(1-frac{1}{k}right)^{k^2}implies log(a_k)=k ^2 logleft(1-frac{1}{k}right)$$
      $$log(a_{k+1})-log(a_k)=(k+1) ^2 logleft(1-frac{1}{k+1}right)-k ^2 logleft(1-frac{1}{k}right)$$



      Develop as a Taylor series for large values of $k$ to get
      $$log(a_{k+1})-log(a_k)=-1+frac{1}{3 k^2}+O(left(frac{1}{k^3}right)$$
      Continue with Taylor
      $$frac{a_{k+1}}{a_k}=e^{log(a_{k+1})-log(a_k)}=frac 1 eleft(1+frac{1}{3 k^2}+Oleft(frac{1}{k^3}right)right)to frac 1 e$$
