| Description |
Graphical demonstration of the sum of the reciprocals of Sylvester's sequence, The first row of 2 squares has side length 1/2, for total area 1/2, the second row of 3 squares has side length 1/3, for total area 1/3, etc. All the squares together fill out the area of a unit square, showing that the total area is 1. Only the first four rows are shown; the bottom row is at distance 1/1806 from the bottom side of the unit square, a distance too small to easily be seen in the figure. |
