Can you change a sum by rearranging its numbers? --- The Riemann Series Theorem
Normally when you add up numbers, the order you do so doesn't matter and you get the same sum regardless. And, of course, the same holds true even if you add up infinitely many numbers..... Right? =Chapters= 0:00 - Let's rearrange a sum! 1:48 - Investigation 6:32 - Riemann Series Theorem explained visually 13:58 - Resolving objections 18:52 - A step further and a challenge 20:07 - Significance of the Riemann Series Theorem 21:47 - Final thoughts This video is a participant in the 3Blue1Brown First Summer of Math Exposition (SoME1).
