    But the first few values are:

    1 + 1/3 + 1/6 + 1/10 + 1/15 + 1/21 + 1/28…

    I really don’t see any pattern there showing why it converges to 2 exactly

    Edit:

    After thinking some more, you could write the sum as:

    (Sum from n=1 to infinity of): 2/(n * (n + 1))

    That sum is smaller than the sum of:

    2 * (1/n2) which converges to π2/3

    So I can see why it converges, just not where to.
