Re: Series
Hi gAr;
I feel 6 and 8 are the easier ones, relatively.
Completed 6, but it was not easy for me. Will post it as soon as I latex it up.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
I am willing to wager that over 75% of the new words that appeared were nothing more than spelling errors that caught on.

Re: Series
hi gAr
the answer would be much prettier if you put 9999 instead of 999.

Re: Series
Hi bobbym,
Okay, let us see.
Hi anonimnystefy,
That answer is pretty enough! The prettiest is only when the upper limit is 'n'. Anyway, good job!

Some questions just require some transformation, then they easily telescope.

Hi gAr;
Did you see mine, I nearly ran out of cyber ink. But at least I got a refresher course on the discrete calculus.

Re: Series
Hi,
No problem, counts as another solution. I haven't done a problem on discrete calculus, though!
But it must have cost you much time to type the solution, isn't it?

Re: Series
Hi gAr;
About twice as long as it took to do the problem. Then when I was almost done there was a sign error that almost went undiscovered.

Re: Series
Not yet gAr, it was the suggestion I was applauding. People taught math today have been so conditioned that trying numbers or even guessing at a solution is somewhat evil. They keep mentioning a few offhand problems where some guy tried a thousand numbers and they worked but failed for the 10 millionth number. What they forget is all the problems ( a far larger number by the way ) where getting a solution to fit 1000 numbers worked!
Experimental play can at least provide insight into what a solution might be. With todays computing power this process is easy.
