HH: "Note that the value for 10^12 is larger than that for the subsequent terms. That suggests to me that an ever-increasing approximation is not a given. Is that counter-intuitive?" A potential for misunderstanding is that the approximations provided are extrapolations based on actual sums. While the sums to increasingly larger limits may increase monotonically, their extrapolations (to infinity) may be up or down. Does that make sense?
