Mathematics

Post by BrookG »

Since there are many math nerds in this community, it's time to gather them in a single post. Amazing, right? Now, you can spam this thread with algebra, geometry, number theory, calculus etc.

If it's about math/maths (for the british), ok. Expect troll ansers

so 1/4 * n^2*(n+1)^2 - 3/2 * n(n+1)
solve that Im too lazy and you have your answer for part A.

Also for (a), after filling the forms of the sums you can find the roots using Horner's method, since they are almost given. For (b), take the same from 1-50 (n=50) and 1-10 (n=10) from (a) and subtract.

As for part B, lets call the solution of part A f(n). Then the answer to part B is f(50)-f(9)

Shouldnt it be 1-50 and then substract 1-9, as 10 still contributes do the sum right?

Yes, my mistake

The funny thing about math is that they can be representations of real things!

Sum of series 1/1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + 1/5 + ... 1/n == Log(n) + 0.577... (gamma constant)

Just need someone to prove it.

Hm I don't want to read a bunch of unformatted math, but @Jerom is just a dirty physicist you know so I'd be wary about his calculations, especially around zero

I would argue my calculations I uploaded are very neat and clear, plus they give the correct result so they are probably right too, dont you think.

Well you always have to be wary of dirty physicists you know

There wouldn't be much point of me posting this formula if you could just look it up on Google. The internet doesn't know everything. Most mathematics stuff is copied from the same textbooks over and over from what I've seen.

scroll to the section Partial sums. From there the answer should be obtainable, right?

That's just an approximation tho anyway, not the real sum

Appears to be the case yes. That really should direct to the answer, but its too complex for my wimpy brain
