also im looking for the train dilemma with the 1+2+3 people bunched up and then the -1/12 meme, anyone have that?

in addition to that, i'm look for the one with the same riemann zeta function continuation meme with someone asking whats practical in math, with someone answering with "someone in the street gives you 1 dollar and says they'll give u an extra dollar on top of that value the next day, and so on. a mathematician would know what he is trying to do - steal -1/12 dollars from you. theres a real life application"

Might be a bit autistic to ask, but is that discrepancy just floating point error (assuming they did the division with a computer)? If it's not, it could continue to diverge after some arbitrary number of terms.

There's no problem with it.

You're only being trolled if you accept the >implication that if some graph in R^n converges pointwise w.r.t. the Euclidean norm to some other graph, then they must be the same.
That's a wrong intuition and probably comes form one learning calculus/analysis where one mostly just learns about limits where the error terms always end up going to zero.

With the circle and the square, the iterative process of flipping corners and generating more and more edges, for example, never removes the jumps in derivatives - in fact, with each iteration, smoothness becomes less. The process never results in a graph that shares the properties of the circle (e.g. constant curvature).

You may use another norm, such as those used in analysis of differential equations (the stuff Terrence Tao does, to drop a name), which detects this. Pic related.

>if some graph in R^n converges pointwise w.r.t. the Euclidean norm to some other graph, then they must be the same.

in fact, in the limit, they are the same graph (up to sets of measure zero). the issue is that two graphs which are close in the euclidean norm (like in the sequence in the original pic) need not be close in the sobolev norm you mentioned. and since the arc length functional is not continuous in the euclidean topology, there is of course no contradiction.
