  • This is a short, animated visual proof demonstrating the infinite geometric series formula for any positive ratio 1-r with r less than 1 and with positive first term r. This series is important for many results in calculus, discrete mathematics, and combinatorics.

    As usual nice VISUALS to boost Assurance! Thanks

    this is a great proof, but wonder if it might have been more illustrative to show the fractal effect by varying the length of r rather than just zooming in the camera?

    Had to rewatch as i missed how you showed how the long side of each rectangle was calculated.
    I think showing that as 1 - r - r(1 - r) would be cleared than (1 - r) - r(1 - r)
    Or maybe 1 - [r + r(1 - r)]

    Except you cheated, the final square in the animation isn't black, you filled it in, there should still be a space left over however infinitesimal it is that is effectively the original square at a much smaller scale leading to a further infinite steps... This is why convergent geometric series need a Limit function to calculate, they never reach the limit, the square is never filled.

      (There was nothing like fluxions existing before Newton it's just a fantasy bulls**t)
      You just don't want to use mathematics for its practical purposes and just want to keep yourself safe and sound in your own fantasy world!

      @@justafanoftheguywithamoust5594 also Dedekind invented Dedekind cuts in 1878
      Dedekind cuts and set theory(axiomatic set theory, not the cantorian set theory) is used for definition of real nos.
      And real nos. are used for definition of limits.
      So how did Newton and Leibniz 'rediscover' calculus without understanding them?
