Current Proof of The Week Sum of Reciprocals is Divergent/Proof 1

HOW TO USE THIS PAGE

 * 1. Select the proof P you want to put up as POTW.
 * 2. Edit P to put this at the top:




 * replacing   with today's date.


 * 3. Edit the previous POTW to change:
 *  
 * to:
 *  


 * 4. Edit this page to:
 * (a) add the old POTW to the top of the list;
 * (b) put the new POTW into the two places where the last one was.
