find the convergence or divergence     Σ_(n = 1) ^∞  (((n − 1)/n))
$$\mathrm{find}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{convergence}\:\mathrm{or}\:\mathrm{divergence}\:\:\:\:\:\underset{\mathrm{n}\:=\:\mathrm{1}} {\overset{\infty} {\sum}}\:\left(\frac{\mathrm{n}\:−\:\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{n}}\right) \\ $$

let put S_n = Σ_(k=1) ^n  ((k−1)/k) we have  S_n  =n −Σ_(k=1) ^n  (1/k) =n −H_n  but  H_n = ln(n) +γ +o(1)  ⇒ S_n =n −ln(n)−γ  +o(1) but  lim_(n→∞) n−ln(n)=lim_(n→∞) n( 1−((ln(n))/n)) =+∞  lim_(n→∞)   S_n  =+∞ and from that the serie is  divergente.
$${let}\:{put}\:{S}_{{n}} =\:\sum_{{k}=\mathrm{1}} ^{{n}} \:\frac{{k}−\mathrm{1}}{{k}}\:{we}\:{have} \\ $$$${S}_{{n}} \:={n}\:−\sum_{{k}=\mathrm{1}} ^{{n}} \:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{k}}\:={n}\:−{H}_{{n}} \:{but}\:\:{H}_{{n}} =\:{ln}\left({n}\right)\:+\gamma\:+{o}\left(\mathrm{1}\right) \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:{S}_{{n}} ={n}\:−{ln}\left({n}\right)−\gamma\:\:+{o}\left(\mathrm{1}\right)\:{but} \\ $$$${lim}_{{n}\rightarrow\infty} {n}−{ln}\left({n}\right)={lim}_{{n}\rightarrow\infty} {n}\left(\:\mathrm{1}−\frac{{ln}\left({n}\right)}{{n}}\right)\:=+\infty \\ $$$${lim}_{{n}\rightarrow\infty} \:\:{S}_{{n}} \:=+\infty\:{and}\:{from}\:{that}\:{the}\:{serie}\:{is} \\ $$$${divergente}. \\ $$
