TITLE: Prove the convergence/divergence of $\sum \limits_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{\tan(k)}{k}$
QUESTION [44 upvotes]: Can be easily proved that the following series onverges/diverges?
$$\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{\tan(k)}{k}$$
I'd really appreciate your support on this problem. I'm looking for some easy proof here. Thanks.

REPLY [27 votes]: A proof that the sequence $\frac{\tan(n)}{n}$ does not have a limit for $n\to \infty$ is given in this article (Sequential tangents, Sam Coskey). This, of course, implies that the series does not converge. 
The proof, based on this paper by Rosenholtz (*), uses the continued fraction of $\pi/2$, and, essentially, it shows that it's possible to find a subsequence such that $\tan(n_k)$ is "big enough", by taking numerators of the truncated continued fraction ("convergents").
