I Just Can't Believe what the Math is Telling Me

The Grandi's Series history is quite famous. The sum 1-1+1-1+1-1 to infinity should clearly diverge with no dispute. However, this 1-1+1-1+1-1 infinite series has a very controversial answer: 1-1+1-1 = 1/2 ?! How could this be? Here's my option on the Grandi's Series answer and a Grandi'

1-1+1-1+... Grandi series from a complex analysis angle

In this video I talk about switching the limits of an expression that amounts to the Grandi series - a series which is divergent in real and comlex analysis. I'm also ranting a bit on the History of Science and math StackExchange page and other communities.

Thoughts on the 1-1+1-1+... Series - A Gentle Discussion About Analytic Continuation

We're going to mess around with some divergent series in this video, namely the Grandi Series, 1-1+1-1+... and the related series 1-2+3-4+... and I'll hopefully convince you that the sums that are associated with these divergent series make some sense when seen through the lens of calculus

Solving the Basel Problem ... With a Divergent Series!

The Basel problem asks for the sum of the reciprocals of the square numbers, ζ(2), and was famously solved by Euler. In this video, we will find that a simple argument can be given for the solution of the Basel problem using a mysterious divergent series, which upon some simple operations
