The last comment wins!

HL3 confirmed

Oh darnit, I knew something was wrong in there
Heh :stuck_out_tongue:

tf2 about 7 gigs of stuff but most of it is hats

Yup. xD

No class today :smiley:
Butt the first test starts tomorrow…

So, are we going to reach the 10,000 posts? Lol

Buttercourse
That is the only reason of this thread

Definitively, I won ;D

THIS IS THE LAST COMMENT.

TOPIC CLOSED.

//EOF.

This will be my win!

Let mathematics decide it! ;D

Define the following serie: S = 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1…

So, if the sum is one, I win, otherwise you must give another anwser and prove it is right.

My turn: S = 1 + (-1 + 1) + (-1 + 1) + (-1 + 1) + (-1 + 1) + (-1 + 1) + (-1 + 1)… = 1 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0… = 1

So, I won!

that serie can be defined with Σ((-1)^n) with n ∈ [2,∞[, and (-1)^∞ is an indetermination, there is no way to know if ∞ is even or odd
so your answer is wrong, it cant either be 1 or 0, it cant be calculated

edit: was thinking about 1+0+1+0+1+0+… my bad sorry

Uh…
I am confused :I

Sniper, thats is the point of that series. As that, this topic:
I can get any racional number I want with this sum:

                S = 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 ......
                S =       1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 .......
                ----------------------------------------------------------
          S + S = 1 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0........
              2S = 1
                S = 1/2

Good, good, keep posting :3
* dosss is happy

My comment will be the last one, ha!

You shouldn’t play around with math, creating rules by yourself n stuff specially when they don’t really make sense.
S + S = Σ((-1)^n) + Σ((-1)^n) = 2S = 2Σ((-1)^n) = either 2 or 0

The calc you were trying to show was:
S + Σ((-1)^(k+1)); k ∈ [3,∞[ =
= Σ((-1)^n) + Σ((-1)^(k+1)); n ∈ [2,∞[ =
= (-1)^2 + Σ((-1)^k) + Σ((-1)^(k+1)) =
= 1 + Σ((-1)^k + (-1)^(k+1)) =
= 1 + Σ((-1)^0 * (-1)^k + (-1)^1 * (-1)^k) =
= 1 + Σ(((-1)^0 + (-1)^1) * (-1)^k) =
= 1 + Σ(0*(-1)^k) =
= 1 + Σ(0) = 1

In the back of my head, i vaguely remember something like this

Hey Sniper, It wasnt me that defined that series, I am just playing with it and comparing it to this topic, as there will be no last comment:

It is an Divergent Alternating Series, and it’s very strange:
