tip: Infinite series are wrong and are made to intimidate you. You are dependent to the people that introduce you this, and you are conditioned to Always accept more of it without any Logical explanation. You are not learning proofs and you are not learning consistency, you are not solving real logical problems, you are solving irrational stamp-collection problems that are useless and, worse, logically wrong! At the end of the day now you just want some white-collar money or at least to not live on the streets.

Is this actually true?

I have to study full integration and dif. calculus later. This book says it's one of the requisites to study this before calculus, tho.

There's nothing wrong with the logic of infinity. The idea that we can *imagine* systems that can't exist in our universe is beautiful and shows the power of human mind.
