Euler integral representation of Harmonic Numbers

[Dhruv Singal]

The other option (AP, GP and summation formula) has actually asked for a proof. This seems quite excessive as compared to the second option (Harmonic numbers and Euler integral representation), which requires us to just state the respective definitions. Hence, I want to ask whether you require anything else apart from the definitions in the second part. Edit: Basically, apart from the basic definitions which can demonstrate introductory knowledge of LaTeX, do you expect anything else from the article?

The aim is to get familiar with math as much as possible. The AP/GP proof is direct and the math involved is minimal. However, I am not sure if you have done any proofs regarding Harmonic numbers. May be we should ask for the proof of H(n) = O(log n).

[Piyush P Kurur]

I do not want people to spend more time looking for the proof than type setting. The goal of this exercise is not to teach math but math type setting

Please check if it is reasonable to ask for the bound on Harmonic numbers.

Please try to get the issue resolved soon, as the department is organizing a trip and we want to complete the assignment before starting on that.

I don't think it's excessive or unfair to ask (proof of summation of AP or GP). These can be easily written with the help of external resources. However, may be we can ask people to write proof of summation formulas of any one, either AP or GP.

The proof for H(n) = O(log n) is a little more involved, and it would be difficult for people to reproduce the proof.

Can you update it assignment and send a pull request. Also give a reference that people can look at and write the proof.

Merge extra-work for harmonic assignment fixes #6.
