Overview
Harmonic series is sum of reciprocals: 1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + ... Series diverges (grows infinitely) but very slowly. Harmonic numbers appear in music, physics, and analysis.
💡
Pro Tips
H(n) ≈ ln(n) + γ (Euler-Mascheroni constant).
Series diverges but extremely slowly.
H(1000) ≈ 7.49; H(1000000) ≈ 14.39.
Harmonic mean = n / Σ(1/xᵢ).
