quickQuiz #2 (maths or PC)

A. Compute (or state, if you already know it) the limit when N->infinity:
(1+1/N)^N

I'm trying to find a nicer one in the mean-time :)

Second try:

B. Find the limit when N-> infinity:
1+1/2+1/3+1/4+....+1/(N-1) - ln N
where ln N is the logarithm whose base is the number you've calculated in A.

that was fast...

i see i have to find more difficult stuff when you're around :)
Parent
New one for u to try :)
Parent
kot @ math mastah?!?
Parent
explain ? i didnt get it
Parent
that's the definition of neper's value
Parent
help me instead! :)
but isn't the limit for task 1 =1 ?
1^x = 1
y^infinity = 0 for 0<y<1
y^infinity = infinity for 1<y

Thus, 1^infinity is undefined.

A = Limit 2.71828

B = Limit = gimme 1 sec

i think that B is divergent or convergent dnno xD forgot it ( i think it means that there is no limit)
If it's convergent, it has limit, if it's divergent, it doesn't have a limit.

1+1/2+1/3+1/4+...1/N-1 is divergent... but after subtracting natural logarithm of N you get convergent
Parent
og lol didnt see -1 wait ill tell u limit
Parent
Tellmetellmetellme :) Also tell why :/
Parent
its still divergent.

= no limit

+ i dont understan this sentence

where ln N is the logarithm whose base is the number you've calculated in A.
Parent
>>> def calc(n):
... sum = 0
... for i in range(1,n):
... sum += 1.0/i
... print sum - math.log(n)
>>> calc(2000000)
0.577215414901

And ln n is logarithm in base e...
>>> math.e
2.7182818284590451
Parent
lol ... anyway my first result was right :>
Parent
Thanks to Biitti for starting the serie of math journals. :d
math journals r cool :P

cuz im good in math xD
Parent
Physics questions coming soon! ;)
Parent
dont ask cainer for the answers then...he
image: cainerpwnt
at physics
Parent
i seem to be too stupid for that one
ger 11th class
Parent
fr 1337th street
Parent
just gtfo with school and go play a game, then you're a copy of me x) , my schoolPC's blocked CF even with proxy's
that looks like the stuff which we had 2 years ago and which I got to learn again for my final tests next year :<<
2nd one 0.577...

Puu told meh :O
Cookie goes to Puu:
0.577215
Parent
rip puu, banned for a week :(
Parent
cmon, give our ventrilo-calculating-3-men-group some work!
Parent
gimme 5 mins.. i'll find something
Parent
math journals getting old tbh ;p
today's quests are too hard for meh :p
I had 3 apples, then my dog eats 1..
I go to ze store.. its closed..
Then i go back home, i stepped in dog sh*t..


How many apples do i have?
Parent
not funny, sorry :(
Parent
dude... i was serious.. :<
