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 / and announced this discovery in 1735. His arguments were based on manipulations that were not justified at the time, although he ...
The sum of the reciprocals of the powerful numbers is close to 1.9436 . [4] The reciprocals of the factorials sum to the transcendental number e (one of two constants called "Euler's number"). The sum of the reciprocals of the square numbers (the Basel problem) is the transcendental number π 2 / 6 , or ζ(2) where ζ is the Riemann zeta ...
While the partial sums of the reciprocals of the primes eventually exceed any integer value, they never equal an integer. One proof [6] is by induction: The first partial sum is 1 / 2 , which has the form odd / even . If the n th partial sum (for n ≥ 1) has the form odd / even , then the (n + 1) st sum is
For example, 3 is the only prime with period 1, 11 is the only prime with period 2, 37 is the only prime with period 3, 101 is the only prime with period 4, so they are unique primes. The next larger unique prime is 9091 with period 10, though the next larger period is 9 (its prime being 333667).
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] = + + + + = =.
By the fundamental theorem of arithmetic, the partial product when expanded out gives a sum consisting of those terms n −s where n is a product of primes less than or equal to q. The inequality results from the fact that therefore only integers larger than q can fail to appear in this expanded out partial product.
In number theory, the totient summatory function is a summatory function of Euler's totient function defined by ():= = (),.It is the number of ordered pairs of coprime integers (p,q), where 1 ≤ p ≤ q ≤ n.
In the mathematics of convergent and divergent series, Euler summation is a summation method. That is, it is a method for assigning a value to a series, different from the conventional method of taking limits of partial sums. Given a series Σa n, if its Euler transform converges to a sum, then that sum is called the Euler sum of the original ...
