OpenStudy (anonymous):

so this is a telescoping series, just do a few partial sums and you'll see what the series equals

OpenStudy (anonymous):

didn't get that(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(1-1/3)+(1/2-1/4)+(1/3-1/5)+(1/4-1/6)... some of the terms got cancelled out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the result should just be (1+1/2) or something similar to that
