bump for stuck with no idea about general meaning of Q2. If that doesn't count as cheating, could you paraphrase it?

1 + Infinty Equals Infinity

which will lead to math error

Exactly. Got 2 and 3 easy enough, but this one's got me puzzled.

When all else fails, Google. You can even Google 3 if you're clever enough.

Actually, you can Google question 1 too.

Yeah, tried googling the second question and it doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

I'd tell you more, but that might be construed as saying too much. Unless your search results are vastly different than mine though (Google does try to personalize results) it should be very easy to find if you've got a sharp eye.

Yeah, now I found it. Took 4 pages of google search though - my main search results were somehow about medicine O.o

Eh.... I find question 4 a trick question as depending on the context even in what they mean it means different things. Aka check the other results in that area if not using it and it still does things.

You do know that first one is not really correct. You have to use a special summation and stuff like that (I don't really want to go all mathematical, but you can't get a cleat answer if you are trying to sum infinite amount of numbers).

The answer and the mathematics behind it are solid. If you don't like it, take it up with either a mathematician or a M.I.T. graduate.

I did and that's what they told me. You can also check Terry Tao's blog about it with title "The Euler-Maclaurin formula...", now I can't really argue here, because posting some links would lead into spoiling the puzzle.

solid? it's maths it's never solid. i'm sure somebody f**ked up somewhere and every other mathematicians and physicists were like "wow what a fascinating result and proof. let's go with it." it's just... come on how can it be this?

I mean the answer and the method are viable, which they are. I really don't want to get into waxing the pedantic right now. If you want to know why the answer is what it is, wait until after noon-time Monday. That's all I have to say on this matter at this time.

Already own but wanted to see if I could solve this, so bump for solved. Question 2 took me a little while to get and I imagine question 1 could be quite hard to those who haven't covered a certain area of maths.
