time to test /sci/'s knowledge

what does the divergent series 1-1+1-1... equal?

>>	Anonymous Sun Apr 27 02:47:53 2014 No.6502592 >>6502585 >divergent series >equal It doesn't have a well-defined value because it doesn't converge. However, we can apply any number of different well-known techniques for summing divergent series to get: \frac{1}{2} now go away.

>>	Anonymous Sun Apr 27 19:53:48 2014 No.6504256 >>6504224 Just add the same number. For this problem, it's 1, so 1+1=2. Then you add 2+1, and that equals 3.
