Let's take another look at Infinite Series et al.
This article will take a look, at Infinite Series, with a special emphasis towards the interesting conundrum arising out of the Ramanujan Summation & Zeta function regularization. Now to begin with, as a prologue... The Summation / Sum of an Infinite Series is defined / exits : if the Partial Sums of that Infinite Series either approaches a finite value (thus resulting in a Convergent series), or the Partial Sums of that Infinite Series goes to ± infinity (resulting in a Divergent series). Two quick examples whould elaborate, further solidify the meaning of above statements ... Example 1: Take the series : 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + .... + 1/2 n Now the sum of above series can be shown to approach 1, as n approaches infinity. One can refer to the many articles / videos on the internet, that clearly illustrates geometrically, as to why the summation of above series approaches 1. (Hint: 1/2 of a square + 1/2 of the remaining square + 1/2 of that remainder + etc etc = full s...
