And since the 1/2 n bit gets really small as n goes off to infinity we say the sum of the series is 1. But what about the harmonic series? There is no obvious formula for its partial sums, but we ...

The answer is the sum of an infinite series. To see what it is, observe that the successive offers follow an orderly pattern: 24: his asking price: 12 = 24 − 12: your first offer: 18 = 24 − 12 + 6: ...

Let me take a moment to explain right away. No, there is too much. Let me sum up *:. 1) The infinite series in the video (1+2+3+4+5+…) can in fact be tackled using a rigorous mathematical method ...
