Not a rigorous proof (I'll leave that to further investigation): S(n) = 1/n + 1/n^2 + ... = 1/n ( 1 + 1/n + 1/n^2 + ...) <--needs more justification in a rigo

Not a rigorous proof (I'll leave that to further investigation):
S(n) = 1/n + 1/n^2 + ...
= 1/n ( 1 + 1/n + 1/n^2 + ...) <--needs more justification in a rigorous proof
S(n) = 1/n ( 1 + S(n) )
Simple algebra from here:
n * S(n) - S(n) = 1
S(n) = 1 / (n-1)
