power series - How can we know the answer to 1-1+1-1+1 ...
The series does not converge, because as you observe, the partial sums $1,0,1,0,\ldots$ oscillate and do not approach a single limit. There are various ways to assign values to some divergent …

@coffeemath Debatable: you can write Hn = S2 n + 1 n! Where S denotes Stirling numbers of the first kind. But it may not be considered a "closed form", since Stirling numbers are not much …
Why is $1/i$ equal to $-i$? - Mathematics Stack Exchange
May 11, 2015 · While 1/i = i−1 1 / i = i 1 is true (pretty much by definition), if we have a value c c such that c∗i = 1 c ∗ i = 1 then c= i−1 c = i 1. This is because we know that inverses in the …
