Geometric Mean

#1

Post by Tolaso J Kos »

Find the geometric mean , with respect to the usual measure on the interval, of all the real numbers in the range $(0, 1]$.
Imagination is much more important than knowledge.

Nice one. The geometric mean with respect to the usual measure on the interval is actually defined as:

$$\mathcal{GM} = e^{\displaystyle \int_{0}^{1} \ln x \, dx} = e^{-1} = \frac{1}{e}$$

and this is our answer.
$\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n^s}= \prod_{p \; \text{prime}}\frac{1}{1-p^{-s}}$
