HILLLLARIOUS!!! Since 'i' is an imaginary #....to the pi....wouldn't that be a negative # ??

was that a check that was really sent out?

The total is $1.002. I don't know why he would send .002 cents (charged in fractional cents?). Maybe having to send a check for such a dumb total inspired the clever check writing.
The series E(1/2^n) from 0 to infinity adds up to 2 with infinite terms.
e^(i*pi) is -1.
So it's 0.002 + -1 + 2 = 1.002

Is that from the same guy that was charged .2 cents / Kilobyte?

what's sad is that reading that check is the first time I've used calculus since I was required to take it...for my job. ![[Freak]](graemlins/freak.gif)
At least I did it at work

I was thinking the same if it was from that same guy who was trying to teach math to the phone/internet company. I forgot who it was. Looks exactly like it though. Damn funny!

The total is $0.002. The guy is pissed off that Verizon Wireless states they charge 0.002 cents per kb for data usage but charges 0.002 dollars per kb. He used his phone in Canada which is not part of his unlimited data plan.

1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 +. . . . + 1/inf = 1
e^xi = cos(x) + sin(x)*i = -1 + 0 * i = -1
So I end up with 2/10 of a cent.

I think rocketX made a mistake thinking that the series started at n=0, not n=1. if it were n=0, 1/(2^0) = 1. so it would be 1+0.5+0.25+.... = 2.
