This is my final term paper for Mathematical Analysis, which serves as a supplement and refinement of the previous article [Eulerian Mathematics] Finding Rigorous Answers. It also serves as my own LaTeX writing practice. The article provides several examples to illustrate how the “continuization” of discrete mathematics can bring new perspectives to the proof of discrete propositions.
It is generally believed that concrete series are relatively easy to analyze, while abstract series are more difficult to grasp. There are too many types of abstract series problems; to master them, one usually needs to memorize many forms, which are often singular and lack extensibility. However, the application of “Eulerian Mathematics” can provide us with a unique and widely applicable approach to solving problems involving numerical series.
Eulerian Mathematics does not directly prove the theorems for us; instead, it provides insights for our proofs by continuizing discrete sequences. Generally speaking, Eulerian Mathematics is a form of exploratory thinking that lays the groundwork for rigorous proof. It offers an intuitive path to the answer, allowing us to better grasp the essence of the problem. The reason it is effective lies in the fact that, due to conventional training in mathematical analysis, we often find it much easier and faster to think about continuous problems like differentiation and integration than discrete mathematical problems. Therefore, it is often helpful to first create a continuous analogy and then discretize it.
