Adding the numbers from 1 to 100 (Gauss' Method)

In this video I show how to add the numbers from 1 to 100. The technique involved was made famous by Carl Friedrich Gauss, who as legend has it completed this problem as an elementary school student.
The bigger idea from this technique is that is gives a reliable way to add up the terms of an arithmetic sequence. This technique will be a crucial component to deriving the formula for the partial sums of an arithmetic sequence.

Hi. I recently see a small snippet of a TV show in the UK in August 2022. It told a story about a young 7-year-old German boy in Class. Carl Friedrich Gauss. His teacher set a task for the class. And Carl in his own mind sees that 100+1 = 101, 99+1=101. All the way to 50+51=101. Your Video on TH-cam is enlightening and descriptive to the point of clear understanding.
Another explanation I would appreciate would be the origin of pi and 22/7 (3.142) How the genius, in observation sees the obvious. In that, the Diameter times pi is equal to the Circumference. Thank You. Paul

Hey, great videos, (I liked your golden ratio vid esp.) I cannot find a good video for the equation of the St Louis Arch. Keep up the good work.
