The Harmonic series is the infinite series whose sum is given by

The harmonic series diverges. This is quite easy to prove.


Thus is unbounded so
is unbounded so is divergent.
is divergent.
In fact is in many cases divergent for many
is in many cases divergent for many for example if
for example if
S is the set of prime numbers
S is the set of multiples of any number.
The series diverges very slowly. For example, the sum of the first terms is less than 100. This is because the partial sums of the series have logarithmic growth:

 as can easy be proved using the integral test.
