Abstract | The harmonic series is one of the most celebrated infinite series of mathematics. A quick glance at a variety of modern calculus textbooks reveals that there are two very popular proofs of the divergence of the harmonic series. In this article, the authors survey these popular proofs along with many other proofs that are equally simple and insightful. A common thread connecting the proofs is their accessibility to first-year calculus students. (As Provided). |
