> 1+2+3+… = -1/12? No, but if it did have a finite value, that’s what it would be. The other ones, sure, but I'm not following this one.

- ForOldHack 2y agoYou missed the lecture on the missuse of infinities. If I have inf*k = inf,and dvide both sides by inf... ( The misuse) Then 1 = any K including 1/12. Now this is useless in calculus and number theory, but in quantium field theory it is a useful tool. So inf = 1/12 and a non convergent series = a constant, but you have misused dividing infinity by itself to get it. Infinity for division? It's useful, like counting chickens starting at zero. L'Hoptals rule is a very useful tool, but do not misuse it.
