this series can be made to sum to anything.

The way you phrase this is meaningless - you
mean that it can be made to sum to any real
number just by rearranging the order of the terms.

Yes, that's true. We all know that. Nobody
has denied that.

lol !!

you are the person who denied this in the beginning !!

( possibly together with your friend dave seaman )

that is the very reason i got so angry and started some new threats.

Incorrect. The exact statement you made then was (quoting here):

once again David C. Ullrich thinks he can correct me.

but it is true !!!

keywords : Riemann's Series Theorem , Cauchy product , Hilbert's Hotel.

this shows that any series with real terms that containes oo negative and oo
positive terms can in fact be summed to any desired real !!!


I DARE YOU DAVID C ULLRICH TO GIVE ME A COUNTEREXAMPLE !!!
=================== end incorrect statement by tommy1729 ==============

Several people gave counterexamples to your incorrect statement. Nobody
denied the correct statement, which is that a conditionally convergent
alternating series can be rearranged to sum to any real number. You
didn't mention conditional convergence, and that was your mistake.

Are you ready to admit your mistake yet?
