$\ln2\approx.693$, according to my calculator. It can be written as the infinite sum $$1-\frac12+\frac13-\frac14+\frac15-\frac16+\frac17-\frac18+\frac19-\frac1{10}\dots$$
Rearranging this infinite sum by odds and evens gives:
$$\left(1+\frac13+\frac15+\frac17+\frac19\dots\right)-\left(\frac12+\frac14+\frac16+\frac18+\frac1{10}\dots\right)$$
This is the same as:
$$\left(1+\frac13+\frac15+\frac17+\frac19\dots\right)+\left(\frac12+\frac14+\frac16+\frac18+\frac1{10}\dots\right)-2\left(\frac12+\frac14+\frac16+\frac18+\frac1{10}\dots\right)$$
Combining the first two parentheses:
$$\left(1+\frac12+\frac13+\frac14+\frac15+\frac16+\frac17+\frac18+\frac19+\frac1{10}\dots\right) -2\left(\frac12+\frac14+\frac16+\frac18+\frac1{10}\dots\right)$$
Distributing the 2:
$$\left(1+\frac12+\frac13+\frac14+\frac15+\frac16+\frac17+\frac18+\frac19+\frac1{10}\dots\right)-\left(1+\frac12+\frac13+\frac14+\frac15+\frac16+\frac17+\frac18+\frac19+\frac1{10}\dots\right)=0$$
But we started out with the expansion of $\ln2\approx.693$. So how did we go from that to $0$? Where did I make my mistake?
$$ 1-\frac12+\frac13-\frac14+\frac15-\frac16+\frac17-\frac18+\frac19-\frac1{10} + \cdots $$ Note that \begin{align} 1 + \frac 1 3 + \frac 1 5 + \frac 1 7 + \frac 1 9 + \frac 1 {11} \cdots & =+\infty \\[10pt] \text{and } -\frac 1 2 - \frac 1 4 - \frac 1 6 - \frac 1 8 - \frac 1 {10} - \cdots & = -\infty \end{align} When the positive and negative parts of a convergent series both diverge to infinity, and only then, the value of the sum can be altered by rearranging the terms, i.e. adding in a different order.
That can be seen as follows: Suppose, for example, that I want to make the series converge to $3.$ Since the positive terms add up to $+\infty,$ at some point in adding them you'll get a number bigger than $3.$ Then add the first negative term. Since it's bigger than the last positive term you added, you'll a number less than $3.$ Then keep adding positive terms until it's more than $3.$ Then add the next negative term. And so on.
