Summing inverses II (Posted on 2012-03-16) Difficulty: 3 of 5
The sum of the reciprocal of the square root of all the positive integers up to n is denoted by F(n), that is:

F(n) = 1+1/√2 + 1/√3 +...+ 1/√n

Determine the maximum value of n such that the integer part of the base ten expansion of F(n) DOES NOT exceed 2012.

*** For an extra challenge, solve this puzzle without using a computer program.
