Zenos paradox is itself a paradox. In his achilles and tortoise example he maps multiple factors that allow for a finite result, and in practice use finite inputs as well. The tortoise gets a head start but moves at half the speed of achilles. When achilles reaches where the tortoise started at 0.5 the race track, the tortoise has made it to 0.75. When achilles reaches 0.75, the tortoise has teached 0.875, so on until achilles reaches the tortoise.

The multiple factors are time, distance, and a surmised end or point at why achilles and the tortoise meet. In fact the graph for the ewuation shows divergent values above 1. Taking altogether, it's just retard bullshit to take it as proof of infinite work sums. Taken without the time or limit distance factor, there would always be a smaller slice of the line between achilles and the tortoise, therefore never reaching 1. Taken with the time and limit distance factors, they reach 1 at some moment and then achilles diverges by doubling the distance between himself and the tortoise behind him with every reference frame, 1 to 2 to 4 to 8 to 16 to 32 to 64 to 128 and so on until achilles as run off the face of the earth and travelled across the universe towards infinite distance.

Zeno was a fucking brainlet and everyone who treats him other than the fact will also be a brainlet. Infinite sum is stupid gay stuff.

This just means that the application of infinite sums only works for finite things, but even then it would have to be extended to either defining or getting as a result the actual limit point at which a convergence occurs.
Applied arbatrarily to numbers and variables without finite limits is not the correct way to use it. For example it's easy to mechanically prove [math]\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{9}{10^{n}} = 1[/math] if and only if we define a finite decimal accuracy limit, which as a product would also define the n limit at which the decimal limit was reached, which for this problem would just be decimals+1. For 10 decimals of accuracy, on the 11th iteration it would round up to 1 from 0.999999999 at the 10th, so truthfully
[math]\sum_{n=1}^{X} \frac{9}{10^{n}} = 1 with 10 decimal accuracy[/math], but written more simply lacking necessary information would instead result
[math]\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{9}{10^{n}} = 0.\bar{9}[/math]

This would suffice to solve achilles and the turtle if the smallest measurement rererence frame was a planck length with 35 decimals of accuracy. At n=118, 1/2^n converges to 1 with planck length accuracy. At n=117, its just 0.999...

Where >>9406827 also describes that the least limit required to solve the problem is the amount of decimal places + 1, which if n=infinity, the decimal accuracy would have to be infinity-1, which in any practical usage would simply define infinite work and summation is not actually being done.

>> No.9408032

>>9408001
It's wrong by misunderstanding the usage of infinite sum. It's only 1 at n=infinity IF a decimal limit of infinity-1 was provided. Decimal limits are important because its how subdivision into smaller and smaller units work. If the decimal limit for the sum 9/(10^n) were 35 places corresponding with the planck length being [math]1.616229 × 10^{-35}[/math], n needs only reach 118 to be considered converging. Just over a hundred iterations, not a thousand or a million or a billion nevermind infinity.

Applied truly arbitrarily on numbers defined without a decimal or accuracy limit, the result should instead be nothing but [math]0.\overline{9}[/math] if we take the overline to define infinite arbitrary repitition as the result of an infinite arbitrary sum, since without a definition of accuracy limit with the only direction being [math]n\rightarrow\infty[/math] means no concatination occurs. If instead our smallest measure of time and distance was 1/10th, the sum 9/(10^n) = 1 at n=2 since 0.9 would be followed by 0.99 which would appear to be a huge chunk of a divisional increment we can't fathom, so that second 9 rounds up to 10, the first 9+1 = 0, resulting 1.0

The usage of [math]\sum_{n=1}[/math] is taught and used poorly for lack of understanding the limit is either something you should be supplying to find a decimal accuracy limit, or solving as a variable when supplied with a decimal accuracy limit.

Not sure but it looks like the only practical usage of epsilon delta is for finding the zero of a wave function. Or working to redundantly prove a given non-infinite limit alongside a given result and finding the solution for the limit via epsilons and deltas which doesn't translate to hard numbers.

Its much easier to produce results through sigma sums if you just provide the sense and scale of required outputs via non-infinite limit or non-infinite decimal accuracy. In the case of 1/2^n with n to infinity, the answer would never even equal [math]0.\overline{9}[/math] because the summation always adds on an arbitrary halved amount of various whole and different integers, unlike for example 9/10^n which produces nothing but more 9's.

There is a very slipperly slope of brainlet logic derived from shit education surrounding these problems. First its [math]0.\overline{9} = 1[/math], then it's [math]0.999........99764243367532 = 0.\overline{9} = 1[/math], and soon enough it'll just be [math]3=\infty[/math]

Zeno's achilles and the tortoise problem includes finite paramaters. Ita no big deal the tortoise moves at half the speed of achilles. Whether they're racing to a given goal line and the tortoise gets to start in the middle of the length or whether they're just running to see if zeno can catch the tortoise over an arbitrary distance but the tortoise gets a head start while achilles waits, both situations present finitist factors that defy the infinite equations derived from them.
in the first case, a finite track length must be determined so that is knowable where the middle of it is so the tortoise may start there. In the second case, a finite amount of time must pass as the alotted time given to the tortoise for the head start before achilles can start moving.
In either case, if we know half the distance of the track to know the full distance with achilles and the tortoise racing to a goal then they will meet and tie and converge at the goal to equal the finite 1, or if we know how much time has passed to suffice as a head start of achilles merely chasing to reach the tortoise then they will also meet at a finite convergence of 1 as if a 10 second head start would become 5 seconds, 2.5, 1.125, and even into milliseconds or microseconds or nanoseconds of accuracy up to even imaginary planck time reference frames, but it's safe to say that with a 10 second head start, achilles will have met the tortoise by the time 20 seconds have passed since the tortoise began.
There are definite finite factors here and the only way to truly dissociate them would be achilles giving a tortoise a head start and then never even attempting to chase or follow it as a mean way of telling the tortoise to fuck off somewhere else.

In reality there is no such thing as an infinite sum beyond looking for repeating decimals.

overline repeating decimals are a concept of truncation so you dont blow your asshole out trying to do an infinite, unending amount of work to solve a single equation. We see the simple pattern of how the numbers come out repeating and we truncate to [math]0.\bar{9}[/math]. Even if a pattern exists to the numerals coming out of 1/2^n, you still end up with a number smaller than 0.9repeating and would probably be required to be written in a novel way like [math]0.\underline{9}_{\overline{1234567890}}[/math]

To elaborate so brainlets understand, zeno's achilles and tortoise representation of [math]\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{2^n}[/math] presents finitely divisible factors of accuracy because the way the problem is presented. Yes, 1/2 is half of 1, but these are just numbers, not units. Planck time might have 44 decimals of accuracy, but that doesnt mean arbitrary numbers with more decimals cant be crafted, so the actual application of [math]\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{2^n}[/math] merely on arbitrary numbers also implies arbitrary decimal accuracy. Achilles may reach the tortoise in finite time over a finite distance with a finite amount of n iterations, but the arbitrary infinite sum never reaches 1 because there are an uncountably infinite amount of decimal numbers between 0 and 1 that if plotted and graphed similarly to the achilles and tortoise problem would never present convergence and instead imply the acceleration path of achilles is actually parallel to the acceleration path of the tortoise if they were given infinite time to cover an infinite distance, which infinite time and infinite distance is what is directly prescribed by the offhand unrelated representation of [math]\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{2^n}[/math] which can't converge and remains parallel to some degree of undulating accuracy to the effect of being written as [math]0.\underline{9}_{\frac{1}{2}}[/math] or [math]0.\underline{9}_{0.5}[/math] which gives the necessary info to interpret the number by a quick glance to know that a similar problem like
[math]\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{2}{3^n}[/math] would result in a larger number [math]0.\underline{9}_{\frac{2}{3}}[/math] or
[math]0.\underline{9}_{0.\bar{6}}[/math]

Again, decent depiciton of achilles and the tortoise, but a bad depiction of [math]\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{2^n}[/math]. Achilles and the tortoise race over a finite distance in finite time equivalent to a boxed area that can be finitely divided into halved triangles. The number sum without minimal time or minimal distance accuracy can instead be infinitely divided, where [math]\frac{1}{2^1}[/math] so no actual relation to the sum unlike the bounded square area filled with triangles. That the bounded example actually shows however is a finite amount of triangles to consume the last available pixel, which defies a limit set to infinity. The limit is instead the resolution boundary of the boxed triangle image.

Math tried true abstraction once and it was called [math]i[/math], as in [math]5i+4i = 9i[/math]. The difference there is that the result carries the same abstract compound of the input, meanwhile succaticians prescribe infinite abstract work to equate a finite "real" result. Dumb, very dumb stuff.
Every single practically engineered usage of higher math based on axioms of infinity end up obeying and prescribing finite values in their equations to derive finite results. It's only a flaw of math-centric maths, wacky abstract arithmetic for the sake of giving yourself something to do to tease your brain, that these concepts of infinity are maintained. Fourier transforms are done on finite values, electrical equations are done on finite values, everything that actually works derived from axioms of infinity simply works because they drop the whole infinity part.

Convergence of a sequence (an) to a value c is equivalent to:
V e > 0 E N: V n >= N, |an - c| < e.
A sequence (an) is divergent if /E c: an converges to c.
which is equivalent to:
V c E e > 0: V N E n >= N: |an - c| >= e.
The sum of all natural numbers is the limit of the sequence of its partial sums, if it exists.
so an = n*(n + 1)/2
let c be arbitrary
choose e = c
let N be arbitrary
choose n = max{N + 1, ceil(c)}
case c > 0:
we see that |n(n+1)/2 - c| >= |(c(c+1) + 2c)/2| = |(c^2 + 3c)/2| = |c^2/2 + 1,5c| >= c = e.
therefore we have shown that the sequence of partial sums of all natural numbers up to some n does not converge to any value, which means by definition that it diverges.
case c < 0 is trivial

"Sum from 1 to infinity" is ill defined as infinity is not a number. It should be more like

[eqn]\lim_{N\to\infty}\sum_{n=1}^{N} \frac{1}{2^n} = 1[/eqn]

Holy shit, how uneducated do you have to be to not understand how infinity works in mathematics? Why do you even pretend you reason like a scientist when you have clearly never taken the time to open a book about analysis?
I hope you are all either underage fags or larping as brainlets, because 18-year-olds in my country can solve this without spewing bullshit like you do.

Every thread like this is made by trolls just pretending to be retarded to bait people like you. I mean
> because 18-year-olds in my country can solve
Good fucking lord, how pretentious.

But still, I pity you so please let me give you the quick guide to retarded posts in /sci/:

In general terms, there are only three kinds of retarded posts:

Case 1: Fake retardation posts
This is when someone who is knowledgeable of math and science simply wants to troll. A distinguishing feature of these threads is that they will include use of mathematical notation and will be short in order to enhance comedy.

Case 2: /pol/ retardation
Anything that anyone from /pol/ does is usually retarded, you know that. So I will focus on you can distinguish Case 2 posts from Case 1 posts. And the rule is easy: These threads will not include mathematical notation, because /pol/tards typically dropped out of high school or failed to get into college (which they blame diversity for). This means the entire thing, despite being supposedly mathematical or scientific, will be written in common English. This is, of course, a red flag. Because this is the only board with Latex which means you have to be beyond infinite retardation in order to cripple your own message by not using appropriate notation. And who do we know is beyond infinite retardation? That's right, /pol/

Exercise: Is this thread case 1 or case 2?

>>9415595
No, poor /pol/tard. Those rules are only valid for retarded posts. Not every post is retarded. I know this is a hard notion to comprehend for someone for /pol/ who must believe that retarded is the only kind of post that exists. But if you look outside of /pol/ there are, usually, non-retarded posts. You won't find them where you come from, but I still think you have to go back.

It's almost as if "Sum from 1 to infinity" was a shorthand notation for something else. I wonder what that "something else" is...

>> No.9416036

>>9415586
If you actually, unironically believe calculus, limits, and the use of infinity in math "make sense", you are a god forsaken brainlet who has only tricked himself into believing self-intelligence based on how much you didn't critcally think and just copied insteuctions verbatim to get good grades. Really dont need autism analysis posts like yours.

This whole discussion is bullshit. 1 means its 1.
0,99999999999999999999999 etc is still not 1 even tho it's so close that in any practical sense it is the same number.

OPs formula shouldn't use the = sign imo
