Talk:List of sums of reciprocals

writing out the formula ?

Wouldn't it be nice and helpful to add mathematical expressions to the text-only description of what is summed up ? e.g., instead of "The reciprocals of the factorials sum to 2", write

"The reciprocals of the factorials sum to $\sum _{k\geq 0}{\tfrac {1}{k!}}={\tfrac {1}{0!}}+{\tfrac {1}{1!}}+{\tfrac {1}{2!}}+...=2$" ?

and instead of "The and instead of "The reciprocals of the non-negative integer powers of 2 sum to 2", write

"The reciprocals of the non-negative integer powers of 2 sum to $\sum _{k\geq 0}{\tfrac {1}{2^{k}}}={\tfrac {1}{2^{0}}}+{\tfrac {1}{2^{1}}}+{\tfrac {1}{2^{2}}}+...=2$" ?

At least for mathematicians, this is much easier to grasp visually. — MFH:Talk 02:49, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
