Exponential Sequence is Uniformly Convergent on Compact Sets

Theorem
Let $\mathcal E = \left \langle{E_n}\right \rangle$ be the sequence of functions $E_n: \C \to \C$ defined as:
 * $E_n(z) = \left({1 + \dfrac{z}{n}}\right)^n$

Let $K$ be a compact subset of $\C$.

Then $\mathcal E$ is uniformly convergent on $K$.

$\mathcal E$ is Uniformly Bounded
First, from Equivalence of Definitions of Complex Exponential we see that $\mathcal E$ is pointwise convergent to $\exp$.

Now, since $K$ is compact, it is bounded.

Let $M$ be the bound above.

Let $z \in U := \left \{ z : \vert z \vert < M + 1 \right \}$.

Pick some arbitrary $n \in \N$.

Observe that:
 * $\left|{1 + \dfrac{z}{n}}\right| \leq 1 + \dfrac{\left|{z}\right|}{n}$

by the Triangle Inequality.

Then:
 * $\left|{1 + \dfrac{z}{n}}\right| ^n \leq \left({1 + \dfrac{\left|{z}\right|}{n}}\right) ^n$

Also:
 * $\left| {z} \right| \leq M + 1 \implies \left({1 + \dfrac{\left|{z}\right|}{n}}\right) ^n \leq \left({1 + \dfrac{\left|{M+1}\right|}{n}}\right) ^n $

Thus it is sufficient to show that $\left({1 + \dfrac{\left|{M+1}\right|}{n}}\right) ^n$ is bounded.

Also note that $E_n(z)$ is holomorphic on $U$.

From Exponential Sequence is Eventually Increasing, we have that:
 * $\exists N \in \N : n \geq N \implies \left({1 + \dfrac{\left|{M+1}\right|}{n}}\right) ^n < \left({1 + \dfrac{\left|{M+1}\right|}{n+1}}\right) ^{n+1}$

So, for $n \geq N$:

Now, for $n \in \left\{{1, 2, \ldots, N-1}\right\}$:
 * $\exists K_n \in \R: \left({1 + \dfrac{\left|{M+1}\right|}{n}}\right) ^n \leq K_n$

by Continuous Function on Compact Space is Bounded.

In summary:
 * $\forall n \in \N: E_n$ is bounded by $\max \left\{{K_1, K_2, \ldots, K_{N-1}, \exp(M+1)}\right\}$ on $U$

That is, $\mathcal E$ is uniformly bounded on $U$.

$\mathcal E$ is Uniformly Convergent on K
From Uniformly Bounded Family is Locally Bounded, $\mathcal E$ is locally bounded on $U$.

From Montel's Theorem, $\mathcal E$ is a normal family.

From Vitali's Convergence Theorem, $\mathcal E$ converges uniformly on compact subsets of $U$.

In particular, $\mathcal E$ converges uniformly on $K$.
