In mathematics, the harmonic series is the divergent infinite series:  formula_1 Divergent means that as you add more terms the sum never stops getting bigger. It does not go towards a single finite value. Infinite means that you can always add another term. There is no final term to the series. Its name comes from the idea of harmonics in music: the wavelengths of the overtones of a vibrating string are formula_2, formula_3, formula_4, etc., of the string's fundamental wavelength. Apart from the first term, every term of the series is the harmonic mean of the terms either side of it. The phrase "harmonic mean" also comes from music. History. The fact that the harmonic series diverges was first proven in the 14th century by Nicole Oresme, but was forgotten. Proofs were given in the 17th century by Pietro Mengoli, Johann Bernoulli, and Jacob Bernoulli. Harmonic sequences have been used by architects. In the Baroque period architects used them in the proportions of floor plans, elevations, and in the relationships between architectural details of churches and palaces. Divergence. There are several well-known proofs of the divergence of the harmonic series. A few of them are given below. Comparison test. One way to prove divergence is to compare the harmonic series with another divergent series, where each denominator is replaced with the next-largest power of two: formula_5 Each term of the harmonic series is greater than or equal to the corresponding term of the second series, and therefore the sum of the harmonic series must be greater than or equal to the sum of the second series. However, the sum of the second series is infinite: formula_6 It follows (by the comparison test) that the sum of the harmonic series must be infinite as well. More precisely, the comparison above proves that formula_7 for every positive integer formula_8. This proof, proposed by Nicole Oresme in around 1350, is considered to be a high point of medieval mathematics. It is still a standard proof taught in mathematics classes today. Integral test. It is possible to prove that the harmonic series diverges
