Talk:List of sums of reciprocals

writing out the formula ?
Wouldn't it be nice and helpful to add mathematical expressions to the text-only description of what is summed up ? e.g., instead of "The reciprocals of the factorials sum to 2", write
 * "The reciprocals of the factorials sum to $$\sum_{k\ge0} \tfrac1{k!} = \tfrac1{0!}+\tfrac1{1!}+\tfrac1{2!}+...=2$$" ?

and instead of "The and instead of "The reciprocals of the non-negative integer powers of 2 sum to 2", write
 * "The reciprocals of the non-negative integer powers of 2 sum to $$\sum_{k\ge0} \tfrac1{2^k} = \tfrac1{2^0}+\tfrac1{2^1}+\tfrac1{2^2}+...=2$$" ?

At least for mathematicians, this is much easier to grasp visually. &mdash; MFH:Talk 02:49, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
