Just learn category theory. Everything in math is applications of categories in one way or another.

Meh, you can only troll idiots with the Riemann zeta function because they know nothing about analytic continuation.

So to be honest

Simply stating

1+2+3+4+....= -1/12 is not correct until you put it into the right context.

I thought it was Ramunajan Summation.
Are they they same thing, or two different methods that yield the same result?
