Math Problem Statement
Calculate the sum of the series: 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + ... + 1/60.
Solution
The image you provided contains the following mathematical expression:
This is a partial sum of a harmonic series, where the general form is:
In this case, the sum is from to , which means the sum of the harmonic series is:
To find the exact value or a good approximation of this sum, we can compute it using a calculator or harmonic number approximations.
