Harmonic number: Measurement & Applications

In mathematics, the n-th harmonic number is the sum of the reciprocals of the first n natural numbers: H n = 1 + 1 2 + 1 3 + ⋯ + 1 n = ∑ k = 1 n 1 k . {\displaystyle H_{n}=1+{\frac {1}{2}}+{\frac {1}{3}}+\cdots +{\frac {1}{n}}=\sum _{k=1}^{n}{\frac {1}{k}}.}
