Remove the right terms from a divergent infinite series and it may converge.
Infinite Series is available to stream on pbs.org and the free PBS App, available on iPhone, Apple TV, Android TV, Android smartphones, Amazon Fire TV, Amazon Fire Tablet, Roku, Samsung Smart TV ...
For example, pi can be written as 3 plus 1 over 7 plus 1 over 15 plus 1 over 1 plus 1 over 292 plus and so on forever, since the continued fraction of an irrational number is infinite.
For example: 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + . . . That series will go on to forever, and you understand how it will go. You also understand what the sum of all those infinite terms will be. As the ...
1) The infinite series in the video (1+2+3+4+5+…) can in fact be tackled using a rigorous mathematical method and can in fact be assigned a value of -1/12! This method is quite real and very useful.
