Limit of an n-ary product

Since a definite integral is defined as $$\lim_{n\to\infty} \sum_{i=0}^n f(x_i^*)\,\Delta x = \int_a^b f(x)\,dx$$ and the integral is much easier to calcluate than a sum, if we change the sum to a ...

Infinite product

How do I solve the infinite product of $$\prod_{n=2}^\infty\frac{n^3-1}{n^3+1}?$$ I know that I have to factorise to $$\frac{(n-1)(n^2+n+1)}{(n+1)(n^2-n+1)},$$ but how do I do the partial product? ...

Compute $\lim\limits_{n\to\infty} \prod\limits_2^n \left(1-\frac1{k^3}\right)$

I've just worked out the limit $\lim\limits_{n\to\infty} \prod\limits_{2}^{n} \left(1-\frac{1}{k^2}\right)$ that is simply solved, and the result is $\frac{1}{2}$. After that, I thought of calculating ...
