Maple Partial Sum Problem: How to Find the Sum of a Series on Maple 13

In summary, the individual terms of the given series (1+1/n)^n approach the number e as n approaches infinity, meaning the series does not converge. The issue lies in attempting to find the partial sum of a series using Maple 13, as it is unable to evaluate the sum in this case. It is suggested to review the question and the individual terms of the series.

So I'm trying to figure out how to find that partial sum of a given summation of a series on maple 13. Iv tried looking all over the internet for answers to my problem, but no site seems to answer my problem. I am trying to find the sum of a series. When i plug in 1/x^2 and evaluate I get the correct sum of the series, but when I plug in a summation of a series such as
(1+1/n)^n it simply does not evaluate the series sum. I included a couple pictures of what I am doing, so that might help. As you can see in the first picture, it evaluates the sum. But in the second one it just gives me it in summation form and even when i go to evaluate it gives the same thing.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for reading.

Your second sum will not converge - I suggest you look more closely at the question.
The individual terms (1 + 1/n)n -> e as n becomes infinite.
