Conclusion * * * * * An excerpt from: § 2. Historical Resumé. The earliest interest in divergent series centers about the series 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + ... If we assume that this series has a generalized sum s, then the series, obtained by dropping the first term, - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1... must, by the third fundamental requirement of page 2, also have a generalized sum which is obviously -s. We have then, s - 1 = -s or s = 1/2. Thus, if the series is to have any value at all, that value must be 1/2. And this is precisely the value which Leibniz was led to attach to the series, by different considerations. The sum of n terms of the series is 0 or 1 according as n is even or odd; and since this sum is just as often equal to 1 as it is to 0, its probable value is the arithmetic mean, 1/2. This same value was later attached to the series by Euler, in a more satisfactory, though not entirely rigorous manner. "Let us say that the sum of any infinite series is the finite expression, by the expansion of which the series is generated. In this sense, the sum of the infinite series 1 - x + x2 - x3... will be 1/(1 + x), because the series arises from the expansion of the fraction, whatever number is put in place of x." In particular, 1/2 = 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + ... It is true, as has already been intimated, that none of the methods given above, to prove that the series should have the value 1/2, is satisfactory from a theoretical point of view. But objections have been raised to the result for practical reasons also....

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents serious mathematical and algorithmic puzzles that are mostly counterintuitive. The presented puzzles are simultaneously entertaining, challenging, intriguing, and haunting. This book introduces its readers to counterintuitive mathematical ideas and revolutionary algorithmic insights from a wide variety of topics. The presented solutions that are discovered by many mathematicians and computer scientists are highly counterintuitive and show supreme mathematical beauty. These counterintuitive solutions are intriguing to the degree that they shatter our preconceived notions, shake our long-held belief systems, debunk our fundamental intuitions, and finally rob us of sleep and haunt us for a lifetime. Multiple ways of attacking the same puzzle are presented which teach the application of elegant problem-solving strategies.
Download or read book Divergent Series written by Godfrey H. Hardy and published by American Mathematical Society. This book was released on 2024-06-14 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Review of the original edition: This is an inspiring textbook for students who know the theory of functions of real and complex variables and wish further knowledge of mathematical analysis. There are no problems displayed and labelled “problems,” but one who follows all of the arguments and calculations of the text will find use for his ingenuity and pencil. The book deals with interesting and important problems and topics in many fields of mathematical analysis, to an extent very much greater than that indicated by the titles of the chapters. It is, of course, an indispensable handbook for those interested in divergent series. It assembles a considerable part of the theory of divergent series, which has previously existed only in periodical literature. Hardy has greatly simplified and improved many theories, theorems and proofs. In addition, numerous acknowledgements show that the book incorporates many previously unpublished results and improvements of old results, communicated to Hardy by his colleagues and by others interested in the book. —Mathematical Reviews
