So, how much is that check worth?


$536.49

You can see the math here.

Nope.

The check states e^(i*Pi), not e^(2*Pi) as in this "solution". Obviously somebody wasn't even able to read the problem right. 

e^(i*Pi) = -1
The sum of 1 to infinity over 1/2^n = 1

Thus the result is 0.002 which should be rounded down to 0 (at least I guess this is also true for American checks ).

Well, that wasn't my answer.   I never noticed that i to be honest.  But a value of $0.00 makes it twice as funny.

Still shows the hazards of writing such a check.
