    The first four partial sums of the series 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ⋯.The parabola is their smoothed asymptote; its y-intercept is −1/12. [1]The infinite series whose terms ...

  3. Basel problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basel_problem

    The sum of the series is approximately equal to 1.644934. [3] The Basel problem asks for the exact sum of this series (in closed form ), as well as a proof that this sum is correct. Euler found the exact sum to be π 2 / 6 {\displaystyle \pi ^{2}/6} and announced this discovery in 1735.

  4. Summation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summation

    The summation of an explicit sequence is denoted as a succession of additions. For example, summation of [1, 2, 4, 2] is denoted 1 + 2 + 4 + 2, and results in 9, that is, 1 + 2 + 4 + 2 = 9. Because addition is associative and commutative, there is no need for parentheses, and the result is the same irrespective of the order of the summands ...

  5. Integer partition - Wikipedia

    3 + 1 2 + 2 2 + 1 + 1 1 + 1 + 1 + 1. The only partition of zero is the empty sum, having no parts. The order-dependent composition 1 + 3 is the same partition as 3 + 1, and the two distinct compositions 1 + 2 + 1 and 1 + 1 + 2 represent the same partition as 2 + 1 + 1. An individual summand in a partition is called a part.

    In mathematics, the infinite series ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ + ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠ + ⁠ 1 / 8 ⁠ + ⁠ 1 / 16 ⁠ + ··· is an elementary example of a geometric series that converges absolutely. The sum of the series is 1. In summation notation, this may be expressed as

  7. Abundant number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abundant_number

    The abundancy index of n is the ratio σ(n)/n. [7] Distinct numbers n 1, n 2, ... (whether abundant or not) with the same abundancy index are called friendly numbers. The sequence (a k) of least numbers n such that σ(n) > kn, in which a 2 = 12 corresponds to the first abundant number, grows very quickly (sequence A134716 in the OEIS).

    (4) the result is ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ (3) the result is 1 (2) the result is infinite (30) no answer. The researcher, Giorgio Bagni, interviewed several of the students to determine their reasoning. Some 16 of them justified an answer of 0 using logic similar to that of Grandi and Riccati. Others justified ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ as being the average of 0 and 1 ...
