Re: Oh,Oh,Oh,merry analysis!!!
What does this series compute?
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: Oh,Oh,Oh,merry analysis!!!
hi bobbym
it looks like it's 1-e^(-x).
The limit operator is just an excuse for doing something you know you can't.

Re: Oh,Oh,Oh,merry analysis!!!
hi bobbym
i was running to the hill.i almost hit it.i thought those numerators were factorials.
my answer is log(x+1).

Re: Oh,Oh,Oh,merry analysis!!!
so that would be it.btw i'm not looking for questions only about the big oh.they can be about little oh and theta as well.the omegas too.
could you also find the threads i posted about something connected to this stuff.i used little oh but you asked if i meant big oh.it was a problem i got from 'The Tangent". 
see ya tomorrow!!!

You have done a little bit of it already.
How did you arrive at ln(x + 1)?

Re: Oh,Oh,Oh,merry analysis!!!
Hmmm. I see you like to prove things. Here is a question that is related in a distant way to what we are doing.
Prove there is a simple function that approximates the curve that the St. Louis Arch is.
