I'm trying to solve an equation for B where
$2 B e^{(1-B)}=1$
I plugged it into wolfram alpha and got:
What is that $W_n$ mean? How do I intrepret this answer?
(Feel free to retag it, I wasn't entirely sure what it falls under!)

$W(z)$ is the Lambert $W$ function.
$W_k(-\frac{1}{2e})$ where $k \in \mathbb{Z}$ denotes the $k^{th}$ root of the equation $xe^x = -\frac{1}{2e}$
