The method of exponential sums is one of a few general methods enabling us to solve a wide range of miscellaneous problems from the theory of numbers and its applications. The strongest results have been obtained with the aid of this method. Therefore knowledge of the fundamentals of theory of exponential sums is necessary for studying modern number theory.

A finite alternating sum
We have stumbled upon the following finite alternating sum, which we have trouble analyzing. The sum is:
$$
S_n = \sum_{j=0}^n \frac{ (-1)^j e^{-j} }{j!} (n-j)^j
$$
We have observed numerically that …
