The Euler-Mascheroni Constant
Remember the harmonic series? More often than not, it serves as one’s first encounter with a series wherein individual terms diminish successively yet the series diverges to infinity. The below quote nicely sums the up notoriousness of the harmonic series: Today I said to my calculus students, “I know,
