It's a post I'm too stupid to fully understand, yet I know too much to not comprehend the gist

shit

It's a sum with n from 1 to infinity. The first value with n=1 is 3/4, with n=2 it's 3/16. And if you keep adding those terms as n goes to infinity it approaches 1 but never gets there.

Then if you look back at the meme, you could zoom in for infinity and always find a smaller square.

An additional part of the joke is that showing this through the area of a square is a geometric proof that this series converges the way it does.

Rather than algebraically. Feels like we're all converging towards explaining the joke but never quite fully get there.

[–] harry315@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

Oof, I've heard this somewhere before. Thanks for the explanation!

so you mean, it's a meme inside a meme, right?
