minus-squareprime_number_314159@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·22 days agoHe has a plus one, and a minus one, a plus two, and a minus two, and so on. This is analogous to how conditionally convergent series can be modified to give any finite (or infinite) sum merely by changing the order of the terms.
