The Most Beautiful Sum in Mathematics

<p>Inmathematics, there are few things as nice as an infinite sum. If we can, we like to turn them into geometric sums, and if we can&rsquo;t, well, we try to figure out why.</p> <p>One famous summation problem is the Basel problem. The Basel problem is a natural question to ask from the perspective of early calculus/analysis, because it comes up so often. It was first posed by Pietro Mengoli in the early 1600s, and remained open for roughly 100 years until Euler produced a solution. Along the way to this solution, we will encounter some of our favorite characters in math.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/intuition/the-most-beautiful-sum-in-mathematics-b1fa4f116ec6"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
