Continued Fractions and Series
Euler proved the following identity:
From this many other results can be derived, such as
and
Euler's formula connecting continued fractions and series is the motivation for the fundamental inequalities, and also the basis of elementary approaches to the convergence problem.

“Calmed by my pleading,
she continued to list your crimes,
found that ten fingers werent enough
