    For the curious, I wrote this python ten-liner to compute pi using the Wallis product:
    a = 2.
    n = 1
    while n < 6543210:
    if n % 2 == 1:
    x = float(n + 1) / float(n)
    else:
    x = float(n) / float(n + 1)
    a = a * x
    n = n + 1
    print a

      Riemann's zeta function can be expressed as an infinite product of rationals (proof from Euler) and zeta(2) = pi² / 6. So that was at least true for pi². For pi, it was indeed not obvious.

    • @andrewkarsten5268
      @andrewkarsten5268 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Actually, when taking n to infinity yes you can apply L’H (assuming it’s in an indeterminate form to start with). We had to prove this in my real analysis class. You’d have issues if you were approaching an actual number, like n approaching 0 for example. Also, you don’t have to use L’H for that limit, you can actually prove it using standard limit techniques. First you show it’s bounded (I’ll leave that to you to do), then you say lim (2n+1)/(2n)=lim (1+(1/2n)) =1+lim(1/2n)=1+½lim(1/n) and clearly lim(1/n) approaches zero, so the original limit must approach 1

      @andrewkarsten5268 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@calebgatty5773 well generally you should only use L’H when none of the other standard tools work. As far as L’H on the natural set, I think we need to be clear on a few things first. The functions 2n and 2n+1 are defined for all real numbers n. Therefore, if we consider using them as continuous functions L’H has no issues. There’s a criterion for limits which states if lim f(c) exists, then for all sequences a_n such that a_n approaches c, lim f(a_n) must approach the same limit as lim f(c). Therefor, if L’H works on a continuous function as n approaches infinity, then the limit as n approaches infinity on the natural set must be the same. This is kind of an understood thing, that in order to apply L’H on the natural set as n approaches infinity, the functions need to be continuous and differentiable on [1,∞). Thing is, for basically every function of the naturals, there exists a unique analytic continuation for that function that is continuous and infinitely differentiable, and you can apply L’H to that analytic continuation (think of the gamma function, it is the analytic continuation of (n+1)!). With this in mind, it’s well defined to say take the analytic continuation, and apply L’H to that continuation, and this continuation will not contradict the true limit in any way because it will give the same result.

    Hey Bri, I came up with a new math theorem. This theorem is used to find some pythagorean triples, so thanks to my theorem, there’s no need to memorize them. Let the shortest side of the right triangle have an odd length equal to n, where n is > or =3. Then square n and divide by 2. Then add and subtract this result by 0.5. These are the other 2 side lengths. For example, let 17 be the shortest side. 17^2/2 = 144.5. Add and subtract 0.5 to get 144 and 145. And there you go, 17-144-145 is a pythagorean triple. And you can multiply and divide these numbers by anything you want, as long as all side lengths have all been divided/multiplied by the same amount, and it’s also a pythagorean triple because the resulting triangle is similar.
    Now what it the shortest side, n, was even? Well, given n> or =4, then (n/2)^2 +/- 1 would give the lengths of the other 2 sides. For example, if 20 was the shortest side, then (20/2)^2= 100, +/- 1 = 99 and 101. And there you go, 20-99-101 is a pythagorean triple. In the 3 4 5 right triangle, 4 isn’t the shortest side, but still, (4/2)^2 +/-1= 3 and 5.

      @Paul L First of all, Nice work 👏 But sadly it's already done by someone else. The formula is already there. For n is the odd shorter side, (n^2-1)/2 is longer side & (n^2+1)/2 is hypotenuse. For n is the even shorter side, (n/2)^2-1 is longer side & (n/2)^2+1 is hypotenuse. Therefore, Pythagorean triplets are if n is odd, { n, (n^2-1)/2, (n^2+1)/2 } , if n is even, { n, (n/2)^2-1, (n/2)^2+1 }. In fact, this formula doesn't make every Pythagorean triplets.

      The Ancient Greeks came up with the general formula for Primitive Pythagorean triples (i.e. those with no common factor). It is m²-n², 2mn, m²+n², with m, n coprime and of opposite parity with m>n. Your formulae are partícular cases:
      For odd numbers k=2p+1, your formula gives the triple k=2p+1, (k²-1)/2=2p²+2p, (k²+1)/2=2p²+2p+1, e.g. 5,12,13 in the case p=2, k=5, which corresponds to the general formula with m=p+1, n=p.
      For even numbers k=2p, your formula gives the triple k=2p, (k²-4)/4=p²-1, (k²+4)/4=p²+1, e.g. 8,15,17 in the case p=4, k=8, which corresponds to the general formula with m=p, n=1.
