Thank you to MapleSoft for sponsoring today's video. What is the sum of 1/p, where p is prime? There are infinitely many prime numbers, but as they become larger they contribute smaller and smaller amounts to the sum. So, does that sum converge or diverge? In this video I want to share a really cool proof that they diverge that will play on the harmonic series and the geometric series - to famous series from calculus - as well as prime factorization to prove that indeed this must diverge. 0:00 The Reciprocal Prime Series 0:30 The Harmonic and Geometries Series 2:37 The proof of divergence 10:27 Thanks to Maple Calculator Check out my MATH MERCH line in collaboration with Beautiful Equations ► COURSE PLAYLISTS: ►DISCRETE MATH:    • Discrete Math (Full Course: Sets, Logic, P...   ►LINEAR ALGEBRA:    • Linear Algebra (Full Course)   ►CALCULUS I:    • Calculus I (Limits, Derivative, Integrals)...   ► CALCULUS II:    • Calculus II (Integration Methods, Series, ...   ►MULTIVARIABLE CALCULUS (Calc III):    • Calculus III: Multivariable Calculus (Vect...   ►VECTOR CALCULUS (Calc IV)    • Calculus IV: Vector Calculus (Line Integra...   ►DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS:    • Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs)   ►LAPLACE TRANSFORM:    • Laplace Transforms and Solving ODEs   ►GAME THEORY:    • Game Theory   OTHER PLAYLISTS: ► Learning Math Series    • 5 Tips To Make Math Practice Problems Actu...   ►Cool Math Series:    • Cool Math Series   BECOME A MEMBER: ►Join:    / @drtrefor   MATH BOOKS I LOVE (affilliate link): ► https://www.amazon.com/shop/treforbazett SOCIALS: ►Twitter (math based):   / treforbazett   ►Instagram (photography based):   / treforphotography
