Hi all,

For the few of you that enjoy something like this.


        n
      .----
       \        n(n + 1)
        >   i = --------
       /           2
      '----
       i=1


      Proof by induction.
      -------------------

      Not a real proof, since the text is missing, but you get the
      idea.


        1
      .----
       \        1(1 + 1)
        >   1 = -------- = 1
       /           2
      '----
       i=1


       n+1         n
      .----      .----
       \          \                n(n + 1)
        >   i  =   >   i + n + 1 = -------- + n + 1
       /          /                   2
      '----      '----
       i=1        i=1


                 n(n + 1)   2(n + 1)    (n + 1)(n + 2)
               = -------- + -------- =  --------------
                    2          2              2


                 (n + 1)(( n + 1) + 1)
               = ---------------------                          _
