In a recent message to this group ([mg33251] Animation), Juan Erfa posed
a question which has not received any comment from this group.
Essentially, the problem is
In[1]:=
Product[(1 + 1/n)^2, {n, Infinity}]
Out[1]=
1
In[2]:=
Limit[Product[(1 + 1/n)^2, {n, k}], k -> Infinity]
Out[2]=
Infinity
The first output is wrong, while the second is right.
Any idea about this apparent bug?
