Mathematical constants | Number theory
In number theory, Niven's constant, named after Ivan Niven, is the largest exponent appearing in the prime factorization of any natural number n "on average". More precisely, if we define H(1) = 1 and H(n) = the largest exponent appearing in the unique prime factorization of a natural number n > 1, then Niven's constant is given by where ζ is the Riemann zeta function. In the same paper Niven also proved that where h(1) = 1, h(n) = the smallest exponent appearing in the unique prime factorization of each natural number n > 1, o is little o notation, and the constant c is given by and consequently that (Wikipedia).
I define one of the most important constants in mathematics, the Euler-Mascheroni constant. It intuitively measures how far off the harmonic series 1 + 1/2 + ... + 1/n is from ln(n). In this video, I show that the constant must exist. It is an open problem to figure out if the constant is

The Limit Does NOT Exist (Limit Example 4)
Epsilon Definition of a Limit In this video, I illustrate the epsilon-N definition of a limit by showing that the limit of (-1)^n as n goes to infinity does NOT exist. The method I present is more generally useful to show that a limit does not exist. Other examples of limits can be seen

Epsilon Delta Continuity (Example 6): 1/x
In this video, I use the epsilon-delta definition of continuity to show that f(x) = 1/x is continuous. This is a must-see for every calculus lover, enjoy! Continuity Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJb1qAQIrmmB86yhDeAUZPY0dktFtb8Tj Subscribe to my channel: https://youtube

Here I show that the ratio of two continuous functions is continuous. I do it both by using epsilon-delta and the sequence definition of continuity. Interestingly, the proof is similar to the proof of the quotient rule for derivatives. Enjoy! Reciprocals of limits: https://youtu.be/eRs84C

In this video, I show a really neat result, namely that the maximum of two continuous functions is continuous. Enjoy the epsilon-delta extravaganza! Continuity Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJb1qAQIrmmB86yhDeAUZPY0dktFtb8Tj Subscribe to my channel: https://youtube.com/d

Epsilon Definition of a Limit In this video, I illustrate the epsilon-N definition of a limit by doing an example with reciprocals. More precisely, I show that if a nonzero sequence sn goes to s (with s nonzero), then the 1/sn goes to 1/s. From this, we can easily derive the quotient law
