Hi bobbym,

Yes, it's from that page.

Re: Series

hi gAr

is that log a natural logarithm or the common logarithm?

Hiyo Silver!

I am zeroing in on that Ramanujan sum!

Re: Series

Hi gAr;

anonimnystefy might be right. That might be calculus. I am not sure? Is integration calculus? I really do not know. Okay, it is calculus. But it is interesting anyway. I will keep looking for something else.

Re: Series

Hi gAr;

That is okay. I was working on the bounding of the sum. Thought it was a long shot. When I found that identity I forgot the conditions of the question.

Re: Series

Hi,

Okay.
Manipulating the sum was tricky from the solution I saw.
So I expanded it to a few terms to see what it actually looked like. Then I could understand.
Of course, the first step is partial fractions!

Re: Series

Hi gAr;

I am not following you. The series is to infinity and  the terms perfectly interleave so it is exactly the log(2) series. What did you do here?

Hi,

Roughly, I meant to say they travel unequal "distances" , that term 1/2k is a slowpoke!
