I need to evaluate the PolyLogPolyLog function at some points, but I'm interested in numeric values. E.g. PolyLog[3, 2.7]PolyLog[3, 2.7] works fine, but PolyLog[3, e]PolyLog[3, e] just prints the same PolyLog[3, e]PolyLog[3, e]. I somehow need to convert this symbolic representation to a number. Seems like a simple question, but I couldn't find the answer.

How to force numeric evaluation?
