SUMMARY
The discussion centers on proving the equation \(\int_{1}^{\infty}\frac{u-[u]}{u^2}du=1-\gamma\), where \(\gamma\) represents the Euler Constant and \([u]\) denotes the floor function. A proposed method involves transforming the left-hand side into a summation: \(\sum_{i=1}^{\infty} \int_{i}^{i+1}\frac{u-i}{u^2}du\). This approach aims to simplify the integral for easier evaluation and verification of the relationship with the Euler Constant.
