I'm trying to find the growth rate (tilde notation) of this function:
$$f(n) = \sum_{i=0}^n \frac{n!}{(n-i)!}$$
The $\sim$ notation is similar to the big O notation. However the $\sim$ notation is also interested in the coefficient of the fastest growing term.
For example: $3x^3 + 7x^2 - 90 \sim 3x^3$
Let $f(n)$ be the sum. You can show that $f(n)=\lfloor{en!}\rfloor$. See this MSE post for example
