They say when s = 1...........the harmonic series increases w/o bound.........I don't think so....

for any positive real number p. When p = 1, the p-series is the harmonic series, which diverges. Either the integral test or the Cauchy condensation test shows that the p-series converges for all p > 1 (in which case it is called the over-harmonic series) and diverges for all p ≤ 1.

converges to the natural logarithm of 2. An explicit formula for the partial sum of the alternating series is given by. (12) Gardner (1984) notes that this series never reaches an integer sum. The partial sums of the harmonic series are plotted in the left figure above, together with two related series.
