In the book, "A History of Pi", a reference is made to the following problem:
What is the value of the following infinite series?
1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + .....
What is the value and why? The book doesn't give the value or the approach
for the solution which would normally be fine except that I can't figure it
out! :)
Thank you for your time.
-John
