Math is nothing more than playing around with axioms. If those axioms don't lead to contradictions, then it's a perfectly valid mathematical model.

Just look at the geometric series 1+x+x^2.... It obviously only makes sense for x within the unit circle and converges to 1/(1-x).

He wasn't proving anything. He was clearly talking about a different system and once you accept his axioms that sum trivially follows.

This is technically false, as the analytical continuation is part of the zeta function definition. The infinite sum of reals is only defined for those numbers, however.

Finally, 1+2+3+...=-1/12 isn't just true in the analytical continuation context, there are several theories that lead there (like Ramanujan summation, not apriori tied to analytic continuation at all)

9320837

Let us define the decimal of 1/3 as small s

(A) [s×1] 0.333r3 × 3 = 0.999r9
(B) [s×2] 0.666r6 × 3 = 1.999r8
(C) [s×3] 0.999r9 × 3 = 2.999r7
(D) [s×4] 1.333r2 × 3 = 3.999r6
(E) [s×5] 1.666r5 × 3 = 4.999r5
(F) [s×6] 1.999r8 × 3 = 5.999r4
(G) [s×7] 2.333r1 × 3 = 6.999r3
(H) [s×8] 2.666r4 × 3 = 7.999r2
( I ) [s×9] 2.999r7 × 3 = 8.999r1

Upon truncating the repeating pattern in attempts to define the infinite sequence in finite time, we develop rounding errors within the decimal beyond (A) .
It can be agreed that (A) is closer to 1 than (B) is closer to 2, and how both are closer to their assumed ceiling than (C) is to 3. As we continue all the way to s×9, the rounding error now gives 8.999r1, which is 8 orders of infinity further from 9 than (A) is from 1.

The truncation process assumes an upper limit of infinity. The action is made even more futile when each increment of s requires an even greater order of accuracy, thus truncating the infinite sequence of 1/3 as s to satisfy s×3=1 will immediately cause rounding errors at s×4 that further increase in inaccuracy at every s×n beyond 4. Instead, s would need to be redefined at every step of the way to remove the rounding errors, yet s is always defined as the decimal of 1/3 as 0.333r3

the awful assumtion that 0.999r9 = 1 is not the worst issue here, rather instead that 0.333r3 must equal 0.333rN to eradicate rounding errors by truncation, which is the essential equivalent of saying 0.3333 = 0.333N, or 0.3 = 0.N, or 3 = N.
If 0.999r9 = 1, then 3 is equal to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9; and if 3 can be equal to any number, then any number can be equal to any other number.
If 1 = 3
and 5 = 3
then 1 = 5

To get 0.999r9 = 1, means to literally make any number equal to any other number, which is a false statement, therefore 0.999r9 cannot equal 1 as claiming otherwisr is also a false statement.

Ramanujan didn't know in advance to try to get -1/12, he expressed surprise in that result and said something along the lines of how people would try to get him committed to a psych ward for ending up with that value. So no, that's not an explanation. I also don't know of any actual mathematician making a formal argument that the Ramanujan summation was "invalid." At best you'll find complaints that it isn't "rigorous," which isn't the same thing. You can introduce this missing "rigor" by explicitly limiting how the terms can be manipulated, but that's not the same thing as saying Ramanujan went against what these sorts of explicit limitations would have allowed. It works because he didn't go outside of those limitations even though he also didn't explicitly establish those limitations either.

1/3 * 3 = 1, by definition

1/3 cannot be written as a decimal, however, as it would take an infinite amount of time, an eternity, to write out the repeating 3's.

This is where shit retard math comes into play thinking you can truncate that infinite sequence as something like 0.333 repeating.
0.333 REPEATING * 3 = 1, In theory, however even if you had four orders of eternity to spend writing out 0.333 infinitely three times, adding them together, your final result would still be 0.999 infinitely.

In truth, the act of calling upon the REPEATING assumption adds any minute amount to make the statement 0.333r×3=0.999r9=1 true, but each individual call to the REPEATING assumption INCRREMENTS the accuracy dependancy by an order of infinity. If 0.333r3 has an infinite amount of 3's, 0.666r6 would have squared the amount of 6's and 0.999r9 wpuld have cubed the amount of 9'd, which is then going into the territory of literally trying to perform arithmetic on infinity rather than simply with loose concepts of infinity. What is infinity squared, or infinity cubed?

Look it up faggot.

You cannot ACTUALLY write the decimal of 1/3. You CAN write a TRUNCATED ASSUMPTION as something like (0.333...) or (0.333r3), whatever way you want to WRITE it. Howeverx this truncated assumption is not actually equal to the decimal of 1/3.

do you not understand the concept of infinity either? you could write a decimal one hundred 3's and still be inaccurate, one thousand 3's and still be inaccurate, one million, one billion, one trillion 3's and still be inaccurate.
By truncating in calling upon a REPEATING sequence, you may as well simply remove the REPEATING sequence.

Speaking in terms of decimal, 3/10 = 0.3
0.3×3 = 0.9
claiming 0.999... = 1 is literally the same claim as 0.9 = 1, or 9/10 = 10/10

The bigger problem here is to get that 8, you have to work from multiplying with 3 from the end of the infinite sequence, which there is no end to an infinite sequence, so you can't ever even actually get 1.999r8; we can assume there is an 8 at the end because 6×3, but we cannot assume where the end is, and becomes the equivalent of turning any number like 0.382726102827633828627 into 0.3827261028r7

we cut out information by assuming a limit of infinity, which leads to the wrong answer outright. The retardation stems from instead of realizing the answer is wrong, pretending the answer is right in lieu, giving us 0.999=1

Infinite repeating sequences should be seen as inficators that the math is faulty. Pi doesn't repeat and look how much that has enabled the world.

No, I am pretty sure it is. You can't manipulate infinite series. In fact, if you just translate those series into summation notation you can get a contradiction: you can't combine the lists since the 4n will always be longer. It looks cool, but my understanding is that it isn't a valid operation, and even just using variables instead of numbers with "..." will show that.

The -1/12 also exists in classical analysis and already Euler had the most general result on it.

Consider the difference between integral and sum,

[math] \int _m^n f(x)\, {\rm d}x=\sum _{i=m}^n f(i)-\frac 1 2 \left( f(m)+f(n) \right) -\frac 1{12}\left( f'(n)-f'(m)\right) + \frac 1{720}\left( f'''(n)-f'''(m)\right) + \cdots [/math]

where the coefficients are in simple way computed from Bernoulli numbers. A child of this would be e.g.

[math] \frac{1}{3}(4^3-2^3)=(2^2+3^2)+\frac{1}{2}(4^2-2^2)-\frac{1}{12}\,2\,(4^1-2^1) [/math]

but using the above I can generate infinitely many rigid identities that will all have that magic factor.
It's only Ramanujan who studies the same things and make the identification. A classical analogon would be

[math] \sum_{n=0}^\infty n \, z^n - \dfrac {1} { \log(z)^2} = - \dfrac{1}{12} + {\mathcal O}((z-1)) [/math]

You can type that into wolfram alpha for confirmation. The limit z to infinite gives an expression for 1+2+3+..., however, classically there's the log.

[math]\displaystyle \ln\left(2\right) = 1-\frac {1}

it's obvious that S and ln(2) have the same terms, just reordered in a new pattern.
for clarification, here's it in series form
[math]\displaystyle \ln(2) = \sum \{1, -2^{-1}, 3^{-1}, -4^{-1}, 5^{-1}, -6^{-1}, 7^{-1}, -8^{-1}, 9^{-1}, -10^{-1}... \}[/math]
[math]\displaystyle S = \sum \{1, -2^{-1}, -4^{-1}, 3^{-1}, -6^{-1}, -8^{-1}, 5^{-1}, -10^{-1}, -12^{-1}... \}[/math]
it might seem like they aren't even equivalent, but note that instead of 1/odd, -1/even, 1/odd, -1/even, we have 1/odd, -1/even, -1/even, 1/odd. all we did was shifted the evens over by one, which explains why the number 1/7 isn't even in the first 9 terms of S (it's the 10th term, actually)
this pattern can be represented by: [math]\displaystyle
\frac {1} {2x-1} - \frac {1} {2\left(2x-1\right)} -
\frac {1} {4x} [/math]
x - x/2 = x, and similarly, [math]\displaystyle
\frac {1} {2x-1} - \frac {1} {2\left(2x-1\right)}=\frac {1} {2\left(2x-1\right)}[/math]
so we can rewrite S as the following: [math]\displaystyle \frac {1} {2} - \frac {1} {4} + \frac {1} {6} - \frac {1} {8} + \frac {1} {10} -
...[/math]
or [math]\displaystyle \frac {1} {2} \left( 1- \frac {1} {2} + \frac {1} {3} - ... \right) [/math] = [math]\displaystyle \frac {1} {2} \ln \left( 2 \right)
[/math]

1/3 = 0.333[3
2/3 = 0.666[6
3/3 = 0.999[9
3/3 = 1
Therefore
1 = 0.999[9

this works when referencing the thirds up to the whole. Referencing thirds beyond the whole is different.

4/3 = 1.333[2

By motive of proving 0.999[9 = 1, adding 0.333[3 to 0.999[9 results in 1.333[2

1.333[2 - 0.999[9 should give us 0.333[3, which it does, and 0.999[9 × 2 = 1.999[8, but what is 1.999[9 then?

One note of providing acceptance for 0.999[9 = 1 is how close it is to 1, but 1.999[8 = 2 is less accurate. It would be more reasonable to say 1.999[9 = 2,
but 1.999[9 is not the result of 0.333[3 × 6. So if there is a number greater than the infinite sequence that is more accurate, this creates a problem of how to interpret the infinite sequence.

The infinite sequence is more than just infinitely repeating. It could be any number and will be any number by nature of calculating each successive digit. Even when it repeats a single digit, the potential for the next digit to be any other number remains.

by nature of truncating an infinite amount of decimal 3's from the fraction 1/3 as something like 0.333[3, we invoke this special property of infinity that increments an imaginary value to satisfy not only 0.333[3 × 3 = 0.999[9 = 1, but also 0.333[3 × 9 = 2.999[ㅌ = 3.
Disregarding the special property would make ㅌ = 8, yet defining the end limit as 8 would leave room for the larger number ㅌ = 9, meaning 2.999[8 is not actually as equal or more equal to 3 than 2.999[9 would be. This is where the special property of infinity can be utilized to fill in the gap between 2.999[8 and 3, giving us 2.999[9 towards 3 instead. Realistically, it would fill in the gap from the time of its first invocation at 0.333[3 where every increment of 1/3 also increments the value of the property defining the gap, thus 0.333[3 × 3 is actually understood as (0.333[3 × 3) + (ㅌ × 3)

0.333[3 × 3 = 0.999[9
(0.333[3 × 3) + (ㅌ × 3) = 1
1 - (ㅌ × 3) = 0.999[9
0.999[9 =/= 1
ㅌ × 3 =/= 0

Ok guys i found out something very marvelous:
the sum of all positive integers is the same thing as the sum of all positive integers below infinity, and as we know the sum of all positive integers below n is
(n-1)/2 * n
and we also know that the sum of all positive integers is -1/12
so
(infinity-1)/2 * infinity = -1/12
1/2*infinity^2 -1/2*infinity + 1/12 = 0
infinity^2 - infinity + 1/6 = 0
infinity = +1/2 +/- sqrt((1/2)^2 - 1/6)
= either 1/2+1/sqrt(12) or 1/2-1/sqrt(12) if i calculated correctly.

I don't get this either. How can you combine the summations like this? If you set a limit of n, anywhere, even close to infinity, they sums don't match up this way. Also, if we are doing n to infinity, wouldn't both of those sums be equal to infinity? Maybe I am just dumb as fuck.

And to get from 1+2+3+4... to 1-2+3-4... he subtracted 4 from the second term (2-4=-2), 8 from the fourth term (4-8=-4), 12 from the sixth term (6-12=-6), etc. It wouldn't be useful to subtract in the places you subtracted from, that wouldn't relate the series to something familiar he could work with.

Also, if we get to assume that infinity makes this all go away, why can we assume the preceding term is infinity minus infinity?

( r × n ) + ( ㅌ × n ) = j

Where r is an infinite repeating decimal, n is the multiplicator, and ㅌ is a single instance of "tending towards infinity" to define accuracy. But how could we further define ㅌ?
Working with 1/3 to 3/3=1, this would be
( 0.333[3 × 3 ) + ( ㅌ × 3 ) = 1
=
( 0.999[9 ) + ( ㅌ ) = 1
=
1 - ㅌ = 0.999[9
In this sense, ㅌ would only be an inverse of [math]\infty[/math]. If [math]\infty[/math] defines some garantuan unthinkable uncountable thing, then ㅌ defines an abstract remainder to be applied to end an infinite sequence, where [math]\infty[/math] + ㅌ = ㅐ, letting ㅐ be equal to this abstract concept of [math]\infty[/math] + ㅌ.
The problem with [math]\infty[/math] is that it describes an abstract concept, therefore you need abstract functions to properly work with it and deconstruct it back down to something that is actually usuable in real number arithmetic, though i'm gonna guess the benfit of all this is as meaningless as the original claim of 0.999[9 = 1, but at least better since it doesn't defy logic by saying x=y and at least attempts to identify aspects that were not previously addressed.

You cant perform finite arithmetic on infinity.

i dont know why this is such a hard concept for many people in the thread to have understood. They've spent too much time being lied to by professors and having their noses buried in books, and not enough time actually attempting a useful calculation using an infinite repeating decimal.

Performing calculations in finite time and further engineering computers to perform calculations leads to problems related to computing speed, defined as time, as well as memory registers for storing and performing math upon digits.

It's disinformation to truncate and concact an infinite decimal, regardless of how large or small the new implied repetition decimal is. 0.999[...] is as innacurate as 0.99999999999[...] or 0.9[...]
You can make the statement that 0.333[...] = 1/3, but 0.333[...] × 3 does not equal 3/3 or 1. Instead, it equals 0.999[...], and requires the intentional inclusion or addition of another abstract value to rival the concept of

0.333... × 2.999... = 0.999...
0.333... × 3 = 0.999...

one of these statements is very wrong.
the second statement can be boiled down to 3×3=9, and we see repeating 9's in the answer, so that checks out.
The first statement is boiled down to 3×9=27 where we would expect 7 at the end of the sequence, yet the answer claims the sequence is a string of 9's.
This alone disproves 0.999...=1, as 2.999... does not equal 3, and the first statement's answer of 0.999... is actually incorrect, instead being 0.999...7

if we use ㅌ as an abstravt concept to define some kind of inverse of [math]\infty[/math], then apply it back to those statements, we get this:
0.333... × 2.999... = 0.999...7+(2ㅌ) = 1
0.333... × 3 = 0.999...+ㅌ = 1
where, because [math]\infty[/math] is abstract, all we must do is merely pretend ㅌ has an abstract undefined value that would top off the infinite sequence of 9's, or factor in some ability to fill in the gap between 0.999...7 and 1 in a different way than between 0.999...9 and 1.
Each invocation of an infinite sequence in the problem would equate to an incremental value of ㅌ being applied to sum, and this is all if you just want 0.999...9 to equal 1, which it otherwise would only be equal to 0.999...

x = 0.999[9
10x = 9.999[9
But 10x-x, 9x, does not equal 9.0
9x = 8.999[1

Your problem derives from seeing the decimal as seperate from the whole, so you see 0.9, subtract that from 9.9, and get 9.

if it were seperate from the whole, you would consider x+x = 1.999[9, but that is only true if one and only one of those x values is equal to the whole number 1, otherwise it is
0.999[9

if one x is presupposed to equal 1 while the other x is presupposed to equal 0.999[9, that just doesnt work. If x=1, then the answer is 2, not 1.999[9. if x=0.999[9, then the answer is 1.999[8

The issue i see here is performing with fractions that can avoid usage of writing the repeating sequence as a decimal.
In the top example, multiplying (3/10) by 3 then multiplying (1/30) by 3 would result in (9/10 + 1/10), which obviously equals 1. The fractions written as decimals are 0.90 + 0.10 = 1.0
if you alter the order and method of multiplying to (3/10 + 1/30) multiplied once by 3, you get 0.999[9 instead - which then leads to thinking the same exact method of multiplying by 3 was used and therefore 0.999[9 = 1

Your method even works beyond n/3 where n+=4, for example 6 gives us 1.999[9 where i'd otherwise shown 6 to work via
0.333[3 × 6 = 1.999[8 + ㅌ

It occurred to me last night that I was the one truly concatenating the infinite sequence. When writing the decimal as 0.333[3, i use the numbers left of the bracket to show pattern, the bracket to define repetition, and the number to the right of the bracket to define an 'end' to the sequence. I thought this method to work as it would be abled to be used to disprove 0.999[9 approaching infinity as equating a whole integer, to not conflict with other fields of mathematics. Could you imagine how many graphing solutions wouldn't even need to exist if a y approaching infinity would allow an x to equal 0 or go negative? In those situations, the y is taken defacto as ∞ and the x is never written as if it'd reached 0, thereby disproving by use of infinitesimals that 0.000[1 != 0, so why would 0.999[9 = 1?

that infinity is uncountable and an infinite sequence unwritable means it could never be utilized in arithmetic without making assumptions about an upper limit and truncating or capturing a portion of that infinity to substitute and represent infinity. Simply writing 0.333[...] to represent 1/3 denies some information on how to perform arithmetic on the infinite sequence, or rather it has not done enough to prepare the infinite value for use in finite, real arithmetic. 0.333[...] substitutes the eternity it would take to write out as many 3's as possible, but it then betrays arithmetic by offering no contained number with which to perform useful math that could give a real answer. If we know 3×4 = 12, 0.3×4 = 1.2, and 0.03×4 = 0.12, in each circumstance we can see the right-most digit is 2, therefore we expect the same of the final digit of an infinite sequence in 0.333[3 × 4 = 1.333[2

Performing this concatination of the infinite repetition is necessary to actually use the infinite decimal in arithmetic, else 0.333[...] × 4 should be considered undefined. For every 3 we write, we expect to write a 2 at the end, but since there is no end, we write no 2 and betray useful arithmetic, becoming the equivalent of writing something like 123,456,789 × 4 and pretending the answer suffices after only multiplying the first 5 digits 123,45 × 4 ; as a smaller scale example.

This assumption of truncation exists in the real world, such as using PI. If we only decided to use PI once it had been fully calculated or never use it because it will never be fully calculated, we'd have made no progress in any field and yet for that same reason we write PI as π instead of trying to write it's infinite sequence. We know 2πr can be used to define the circumfrence of a circle, but defining it so exactly becomes unecessary. We can roll a 12 inch wheel and measure it to complete a full rotation at 3'feet and some centimeters and thats good enough because it will roll over again and again, while π never completes it's roll in needlessly defining even smaller and more accurate decimal places that for the purpose of our wheel's single rotation, 1rot = 3.1415[nnn[' feet of distance, are not useful.
so if that can be true, why can't 1 = 0.999[9?
because it's infinite repetition is written as repeating 9's instead of using some symbol like ㅌ, like pi's infinite decimal uses π?
Using π in computer math will usually have the number stored up to 15 decimal places as 3.141592653589793, which suffices for most practical math.
If we applied the same method to storing ㅛ as 0.333333333333333, 4ㅛ = 1.3333333333333332, and for the purpose of finite arithmetic this would be the equivalent of 0.333[3×4 = 1.333[2

But in a situation where we'd want our result to be a little more human readable and only accurate up to something like 4 decimal places, math.PI woud return 3.1415 and 4ㅛ would return 1.3333, in each case omitting any higher degree of accuracy so even 9ㅛ = 8.9999999999999997 or 8.999[7 would become 8.9999 but still not 9.

The real methodology here is accepting the infinite decimal sequence of PI does not round up to 7/22 or even 3.14, therefore 3ㅛ should not round up to 1 and only truncated to 0.99 at best.

0.999... approaching 1 is like an eternal road trip to disney world where you never actually get there and you also have to take a pee but your dad just keeps telling you to hold it. Then one day you make it to the parking lot and it's gigantic so you spend 7 weeks looking for a parking space and finally you find one but it's 10,000 miles walking distance from the park entrance and like, yea, you're "at" disney world in a sense, even if you're actually not in the park having fun riding rollercoasters, therefore this definition of being at disney world when you're going to spend the next 3 years walking across the parking lot doesn't exactly mean too much and every time you pass by a parking attendant valet greeter who says "welcome to disney world!" you'll probably just want to literally murder them.

The problem with that manipulation is that for any given N terms in the summations there is always N/2 leftover terms from the second summation being left out (-12 and -16 form N=4, and so on). I don't see how anyone could think going to infinity would solve this as the value of the left out terms keeps increasing.

The method is false because it cannot solve as written. It presumably gives the right answer only on single digit repeating decimals, and only when it's o/n. Any number greater than 1 in place of o gives the wrong answer.

A proof has to be testable under different conditions to give the expected result, but most conditions fail this equation
1/n = ( ((floor(10/N))/10) + (1/(10×n)) )
therefore any answer it does give should be discarded. You're just shifting the natural result of 1/n to the right a decimal place and injecting another number in front, and in a single digit repetition the number it injects is the same number so by first glance it looks like the same result, yet truthfully you've taken an infinite repetition and added one which results in infinity+1

O K ?

you are injecting 3's into the answer then adding on an infinite repeating 3 decimal.
1/30 = 0.0333[3
1/300 = 0.00333[3
1/3000 = 0.000333[3
and so on and so forth. You are just substituting the 0's with 3's while not addressing the existence of the infinite, AND IF YOU TRIED 1/7 LIKE I TOLD YOU, YOU'D HAVE REALIZED YOU'RE JUST SHIFTING THE NATURAL ANSWER OVER AND INJECTING GARBAGE INTO THE FRONT OF IT.

0.1222[2 is 0.407[407
but i guess we can just round and approximate that 0.407[407 = 1/2 cause theres no other number higher than 0.407[...] and less than 0.5

Well you have to in order to perform any useful math on it.

If you don't set a cutoff limit, a computing calculating program will just freeze and never be able to finish writing out all the repeating 3's of 0.333...
I just made my own program with an internal cutoff limit of 80,000 digits and it took 57 seconds just to process all the 3's and display them on screen.
20,000 digits could be done in 3.8 seconds, so the computational speed issue is logorithmic.

The problem with setting a cutoff amount is that it presents inaccuracy. For example if the cutoff was set to 3 digits, i'd get 0.333000000000000, and even at the 20,000th or 80,000th digit, when you cut off there is still implied 0's there. I could add 3 instances of 80,000 digit 0.333... and only return 0.999... with 80,000 digits of accuracy, but never actually equal to 1.0 as it's 80,000 9's followed by a 0 at index 80,001

there would need to be some kind of expression to definite how to handle infinite repeating numbers, and sure enough these expressions actually exist in computer math explicitly because of the logic issue of defining 0.999...=1, yet outside of computer math these expressions are not used, which makes the 0.999...=1 concept fully abstract and incalculable. If a computer can't calculate it in finite time, why should any human think they could?

When it comes to math, nothing should be abstract. That would just defeat the purpose of math.

Yet it is only in your mind that you can assume 0.999... = 1.

Any attempt to write out the infinite 9's would go nowhere. It'd take you a lifetime to write a billion 9's and you'd die before ever getting to write " = ".

therefore, 0.999 != 1 for the purpose of arithmetic producing an answer in finite time.

Blame the decimal system, blame base-10, idc. Just don't shit on the practical realists who had to expand beyond your haughty abstraction complex to produce methods that could actually be computed. Again to mention, they've even worked with you so you can plug in 0.999... and get 1 back. They could have just as easily done what I have and said DOES NOT COMPUTE but no, they'll give you a 16-bit register, a 32-bit register, a 64-bit register, and they'll let you fill up to 8, 16, 32 decimal places of accuracy, they'll let you plug in 1/3 × 3 and they'll add 0.333333333333333 together 3 times and get 0.999999999999999 and then they'll say "oh he's doing the thing" and swap it out for 1.0 instead.

Its right though. Your shitmath has to assume an end. In finite arithmetic it works, caus there will be an end. In infinite arithmetic it will not work. There will always be one more 9 to calculate, so any truncating of the infinite repetition to make it finite would carry the implication that there was one more 9 you couldn't do arithmetic with, thus 1.000[...]9
And 1.000[...]9 > 1.0
