Who Knew Infinity and Beyond Actually Equates To A Small, Negative Number?


Wow, this video blew my mind when I watched it. Unless you're a math geek or some kind of "Big Bang Theory" type physicist, who would have thought that he sum of all natural numbers (from 1 to infinity) would produced an astoundingly small negative number?

There is no way I would have.

we learned this in HS but that was before common core

Unfortunately these people never took a basic calculus course. These summation techniques cannot be applied to non-convergent infinite series, as is the case with this video.
