Abstract
Let be an integer and be the Lambert function. Let denote the natural logarithm so that . Given that and are respectively the first term and the constant ratio of an infinite geometric series, it is proved that the limit of convergence of the geometric series is where . By applying the geometric series formula above, it is further proved that the harmonic series is given by and as , the value of grows very slowly toward , confirming the divergence of the harmonic series.
