<s>[INST] Calculating $\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{1}{(n-1)!(n+1)}$ I want to calculate the sum:$$\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{1}{(n-1)!(n+1)}=$$
$$\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{n}{(n+1)!}=$$
$$\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{n+1-1}{(n+1)!}=$$
$$\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{n+1}{(n+1)!}-\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{1}{(n+1)!}=$$
$$\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{1}{n!}-\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{1}{(n+1)!}.$$
I know that $$\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{1}{n!}=e$$ 
so $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{1}{n!}=\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{1}{n!}-1=e-1$$
But, what can I do for $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{1}{(n+1)!}$$ ?
Am I allowed to start a sum for $n=-1$ ? How can I bring to a something similar to $$\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{1}{n!}$$?
 [/INST] $$
\sum\limits_{n = 1}^{ + \infty } {\frac{1}{{\left( {n - 1} \right)!\left( {n + 1} \right)}}}  = \sum\limits_{n = 1}^{ + \infty } {\frac{n}{{\left( {n + 1} \right)!}}}  = \sum\limits_{n = 0}^{ + \infty } {\frac{n}{{\left( {n + 1} \right)!}}}  = 1
