n = 1 ∏ ∞ ( 4 n 2 − 2 n ) e = ?
Note : If you do not think the above product converges, enter 4 2 as your answer.

. We're sorry about the hassle.
You left out ln in lines 3 through 5.

Sorry, my mistake.
This problem was the product of my curiousity:
I pondered 1 − 2 1 + 3 1 − 4 1 + − . . . = ln ( 2 ) :
e 1 − 2 1 + 3 1 − 4 1 + − . . . = 2
e 1 × e − 2 1 × e 3 1 × e − 4 1 . . . = 2
exp ( 1 ) × exp ( 2 1 ) 1 × exp ( 3 1 ) × exp ( 4 1 ) 1 . . . = 2
exp ( 2 1 ) exp ( 1 ) × exp ( 4 1 ) exp ( 3 1 ) × exp ( 6 1 ) exp ( 5 1 ) × . . . = 2
exp ( 1 − 2 1 ) × exp ( 3 1 − 4 1 ) × exp ( 5 1 − 6 1 ) × . . . = 2
n = 1 ∏ ∞ exp ( 2 n − 1 1 − 2 n 1 ) = 2
Now, 2 n − 1 1 − 2 n 1 = 4 n 2 − 2 n 1 so
n = 1 ∏ ∞ exp ( 4 n 2 − 2 n 1 ) = 2
and finally n = 1 ∏ ∞ ( 4 n 2 − 2 n ) e = 2
Hmm the ∗ 's and powers of e have not come out great. Any advice?

Instead of *s use \times latex tag or simply put a dot. For series' enclosed in an exponent you can simply use \exp, because the size of the fractions reduces considerably while using normal latex tags of \frac within the exponent part.

Thank you very much Swagat. Both changes implemented.
That's indeed impressive. : )
