Help! Euler list of series for x lim of n as n approaches x

Answer 1

Back when I was in fourth grade I knew who Euler was.

Answer 2

im doing a bachelors in math and have no idea what an euler list is, you should probably be more specific

Answer 3

i know that stuff. but what is a euler list of a series?

Answer 4

so you just want to solve the quadratic 1/2(n^2 +n)? or try all n until you find the right one?

Answer 5

yes you can get as close to 0 as you want

Answer 6

just watch the playlist that i posted. that dude will explain it far better than i ever could and if you have questions after that you could just post a comment here or on one of my codes and i can help you further

Answer 7

do you still want help with your code?

Answer 9

Euler is a mathematician who was once told to write 1+2+3+4+5 to a certain number and he found out that doing that to say 100 is also equal to 100(100+1)/2

Answer 10

what I'm doing is trying to find that plus be able to plug in a number and it will give you the series for the sum

Answer 11

basically trying to do it backwards and show the hard work but also solve with his formula

Answer 12

like 1-36 is 666 so I'd want it to plug in 666 and also tell me that the triangle number comes from 1-x

Answer 13

an Euler list is something I made up to try and explain what I'm doing

Answer 14

something like this for the gauss formula https://code.sololearn.com/cm9k0ZfID1j0/?ref=app ? need to read up on what a triangular number is before helping you with that

Answer 15

ok, i still dont understand what you want to do with 1-x, so im just going to point out the problems i noticed with your code:
you never change consec so you have an infinite loop, you use way to many braces so python will probably interpret some if your variables as tuples with 1 coordinate. you never use g. i think the stuff below your if should be part of the while loop

Answer 16

noice

Answer 17

okay so 1-x is 1 through x or 0,x

Answer 18

triangular means the sum of consecutive numbers

Answer 19

and no I want to solve 1/2(n(n+1)

Answer 20

but I did it like n(n+1)/2
