    Another little thing I've learned is that ζ(1/2) is negative!
    Thanks for that!!!

    You could also do it using Integration by parts ,differentiating x and integrating x/(e^x²+e^-x²)

    Awesome instrumentalization of the geometric series, really love your solution!
    Since the integrated function is a square, the integral should be non-negative.
    Is Zeta(1/2) a negative number?

    • @tapasmazumdar3831
      @tapasmazumdar3831 6 месяцев назад +1

      Yes Zeta(1/2) < 0 and also notice he wrote sqrt(pi)-sqrt(2*pi) in the numerator which is also negative. So the answer is positive.

  • @ericthegreat7805
    @ericthegreat7805 6 месяцев назад +4

    How come when you differentiate the series 1/(1+x) wrt x and make the transformation x > e^-2x^2, you dont use the chain rule?

    • @maths_505
      @maths_505  6 месяцев назад +6

      I differentiated the series and then just plugged in the exponential function. If you plug in the exponential and then differentiate, you need the chain rule and you'll get the same result.

    At the stage we had x²exp(-kx²) I will have gone for integration by parts but substituting till recovering the gamma function was much more smart.

  • @qetzing
    @qetzing 6 месяцев назад +1

    Why does at 6:59 du = 1/2sqrt(t) dt? If I differentiate t=u^2 by u, shouldn’t I get 2u / du = 1/2u dt?

    • @madsheller5242
      @madsheller5242 6 месяцев назад

      I think you have it all right, despite a few missing parentheses. Just notice that t=u^2 implies that u=sqrt(t) and plug that in in the end.

      @@madsheller5242 Yes, I see, thank you. I tipped this on my tablet and it didn't come out quite as I wanted it to. I didn't know that you could also replace the u with the t in a substitution like this, thank you!

    When you changed from x to e^-2x², where did the k that was in the sum with the x go. I've watched it 5 times and still can't understand where it went lol

    does zeta one half diverges??

    • @waarschijn
      @waarschijn 6 месяцев назад +4

      The series definition of ζ(s) diverges for s ≤ 1, but ζ(½) itself is finite. Use one of the other definitions of ζ if you want to compute its value at ½.
      It's like the function 1/(1-x), which has a finite value if x ≠ 1 but the geometric series diverges for |x| > 1.

    I was thinking couldn’t we start by an integration by parts where we differentiate x and integrate x e^-2x^2/ (1+e^-2x^2)^2 then we would have to integrate from 0 to infinity 1/4(1+e^-2x^2) and then use the series ? Or did i miss something ?

    Diventa un integrale gaussiano dopo avere fatto l'integrazione per parti...I=(√π/8√2)(1-1/√2+1/√3-1/√4+1/√5.....si può sintetizzare con la zeta function a valori alterni..la serie è (1-√2)ζ(1/2)
