  • You may have this scary looking upper case sigma before. But don't worry, it just means to add some things up! Once we understand how series work, we can do all kinds of other things. Also, have you ever seen numbers with exclamation points after them? No it, doesn't mean that you shout the number. Those are factorials! We will learn about those in here as well. Lots of good stuff in here!

    Your comprehension check at the end uses the word "series," but what you have there are sequences. A sequence is a list. A series results from adding the numbers in the list together.

  • @connorconnor2421

    For factorials, the sequence rule is:
    a(n) = n * a(n - 1).

    9:31 mathematician ramanujan from India gave the theorem regarding the sum of all the natural numbers upto infinity and that was. -1/12 it can be confusing that how can the sum of natural numbers be a negative fraction but this is the magic of srinivasan Ramanujan. Please don't say after today that numbers till ♾️ can't be added. And thank you for such an amazing video.♥️

    hii, i would like to ask if i can find the sigma notation ‘E’ with using only the series, if that makes sense. for example. (2,4,6,8,10) i have to find the ‘E’ of this series. is there a formula to find a sigma notation with using only the series?

  • @memeingthroughenglish7221

      Tbh, yeah.
      I saw it in, like, _one_ class in highschool.
      For such an incredible number as it's often touted, doesn't seem to receive proper treatment until softmore undergrad.
      Like James Maxwell.

      it means start the summation at i = 1, so you start by plugging in 1 and go from there!

    Thanks for the video. I'm a little confused at 2:20 . How does 2 * 3 to the N power - 1 give us 18 or 54?. Is N the term number?

    • @Name-is2bp
      @Name-is2bp 2 года назад

      2 * 3 ^ (1 - 1) = 2 * 3 ^ (0) = 2 * 1 = 2
      2 * 3 ^ (2 - 1) = 2 * 3 ^ (1) = 2 * 3 = 6
      2 * 3 ^ (3 - 1) = 2 * 3 ^ (2) = 2 * 9 = 18
      2 * 3 ^ (4 - 1) = 2 * 3 ^ (3) = 2 * 27 = 54
      ....and so on...
