The area of the blue region converges on the Euler–Mascheroni constant, which is the 0th Stieltjes constant. In mathematics , the Stieltjes constants are the numbers γ k {\displaystyle \gamma _{k}} that occur in the Laurent series expansion of the Riemann zeta function :
The area of the blue region converges to Euler's constant. Euler's constant (sometimes called the Euler–Mascheroni constant) is a mathematical constant, usually denoted by the lowercase Greek letter gamma (γ), defined as the limiting difference between the harmonic series and the natural logarithm, denoted here by log:
The first terms of the series sum to approximately +, where is the natural logarithm and is the Euler–Mascheroni constant. Because the logarithm has arbitrarily large values, the harmonic series does not have a finite limit: it is a divergent series .
There’s proof of an exact number for 3 dimensions, although that took until the 1950s. ... Meet the Euler-Mascheroni constant 𝛾, which is a lowercase Greek gamma. It’s a real number ...
The harmonic number with = ⌊ ⌋ (red line) with its asymptotic limit + (blue line) where is the Euler–Mascheroni constant.. In mathematics, the n-th harmonic number is the sum of the reciprocals of the first n natural numbers: [1] = + + + + = =.
However, the priority for this result (now known as the Mohr–Mascheroni theorem) belongs to the Dane Georg Mohr, who had previously published a proof in 1672 in an obscure book, Euclides Danicus. In his Adnotationes ad calculum integralem Euleri (1790) he published a calculation of what is now known as the Euler–Mascheroni constant ...
where d represents the divisor function, and γ represents the Euler-Mascheroni constant. In 1898, Charles Jean de la Vallée-Poussin proved that if a large number n is divided by all the primes up to n, then the average fraction by which the quotient falls short of the next whole number is γ:
The Euler–Mascheroni constant γ: In 2010 it has been shown that an infinite list of Euler-Lehmer constants (which includes γ/4) contains at most one algebraic number. [51] [52] In 2012 it was shown that at least one of γ and the Gompertz constant δ is transcendental. [53]
