Bounding Partial Sums of the Harmonic Series
Requires a Wolfram Notebook System
Interact on desktop, mobile and cloud with the free Wolfram Player or other Wolfram Language products.
To get a lower bound on the partial sum of the harmonic series , replace the sum of the terms by for each , . This shows that the partial sum of the harmonic series is bounded below by . Move the slider to see the partial sums and this lower bound. Terms of the same color sum to
