Why is the sum of all numbers to infinity -1/12?
Yes, please. How does Ramanujan summation work?
Ramanujan summation is a way of assigning value to divergent series by using analytic continuation from the series' region of convergence to some point beyond that region. In the case of the sum of all numbers to infinity, the Ramanujan summation assigns a value of -1/12 by using complex analysis. It's important to note that this value is not the sum of the series in the traditional sense, but rather a value assigned to the series using a different method.
