$\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{1}{\sqrt{n}} \sum{\frac{1}{\sqrt{n+k}}}$ –  Matthew Nov 6 '12 at 19:04

$$\sum_{k=1}^n\frac{1}{\sqrt{n^2+kn}}=\frac{1}{n}\sum_{k=1}^n\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+\frac{k}{n}}}\xrightarrow [n\to\infty]{}\int_0^1\frac{dx}{\sqrt{1+x}}$$
If you mean the partition, it is $\,\{1/n\,,\,2/n\,,...,\,n/n=1\}\,$ of the unit interval $\,[0,1]\,$ –  DonAntonio Nov 6 '12 at 19:11
