 While on Mono, you'll get :
 
 2.71828182845904
+
+------- Additional Comments From sebastien@ximian.com  2004-06-15 22:34 -------
+This behaviour is caused because Mono use Math.Round (which use banker
+rounding).
+
+A simple modification of the source...
+
+using System;
+
+public class EntryPoint
+{
+  public static void Main ()
+  {
+    Console.WriteLine (Math.E.ToString ());
+    Console.WriteLine (Math.Round (Math.E, 14));
+  }
+}
+
+shows that Mono returns

+2.71828182845904
+
+while MS returns
