QQC-Bernoulli


I found the part about Bernoulli very interesting. I thought it was pretty cool to learn that he and his brother worked a lot with infinite series. One of my questions was how did people even begin thinking about these complex ideas in the 1700's? What prompted the idea of adding fractions or figuring out infinite series? I can appreciate his work now because it relates to some of the work we do in calculus! I wonder when people will take on solving problems like 0/0!? WOAH
