Hello devina,

As you may know, PF keeps threads for years. You sure this tinypic link is sustainable :smile: ?

Any substantial difference between ##\log## and ##\ln## ? If not, then why not stick to one of the two ?

The stars are dazzling in front of my eyes. But even before the first two I lose track. What is at the left hand side of the first ##=## sign ? Surely not the limit and also not the expression. Nor the logarithm of the expression, if I read carefully. Help !
 

Homework Statement


Shouldn't it be something like
Calculate the limit $$\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty} {1\over n} \left ( (2n)!\over n! \right)^{1\over n} $$ using a Riemann sum ?
This because I have seldom seen an exercise saying ' calculate this sum of limit ' :rolleyes:

Something like ##\int = \lim \sum ...## ??

The Attempt at a Solution


Here you describe how you work out the (logarithm of the) expression to somethng that you can integrate

Work carefully and check each small step -- also check if what you wrote is what you meant to write

I suppose that in your case you want to follow a worked out example in the book, but even there the same rules apply.
That's why I remarked sourly that what's on the second line (after the first = sign) is not what is at the end of the first line.
