Haha, what kind of math is that? Looks like alien writing or something

Thats a cool idea!!

What if they solved it (presuming it can be solved) and you see the cleared check on your statement? That would be hilarious.

WHAT NOW, then?!!

Help out the math morons among us (me included) and tell us what it means. I think I remember seeing a sigma one day in class . . . . . or that could have been the sorority mixers I crashed. Ah, I don't remember. - Coach

.002 is obvious - but not any amount a bank is going to be concerned about.

e is the base from a natural logarithm. i is the squareroot of -1 (used mainly in imaginary numbers and circuits). The numerical notation for i is (0,1)

Sigma is a summation. In this case - it is the summation from 1 to infinity of 1/(2^n) ... so that becomes 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + 1/32 + 1/64 etc to infinity (so you end up with a very small number).

so what you wind up with is .002 + e^((0,1)*3.14) + the summation

I don't have a calculator with me - but I'd bet the whole thing adds up to .01 or something very close to it.
