POTW 8 Solution


    By: Doctor Proctor
1      3        5        7      9       53
                                           ... 53
       i      i3       i5       i7     i 9
                                               i
   As we look at the denominators of each fraction,
   It can be seen that there is a pattern of i, -i, i, -i


Therefore, we can simplify the expression as follows

           1 3 5            7        9     53
                                       ...
           i i i            i        i      i

   Then we can arrange these terms into pairs
     1 3           5   7              49   51    53
                            ...
     i i           i   i               i    i     i
In each pair there is a difference of 2i. There are 13 pairs, so the sum can be written as:




                             2       53        26      53       27
                  13
                            i         i        i        i        i



                                      27i
