%N a(n) = prime(n*(n+1)/2 + 1).
%C Primes on the left side of the triangle formed by listing successively the prime numbers in a triangular grid:
%C 2
%C 3 5
%C 7 11 13
%C 17 19 23 29
%C 31 37 41 43 47
%C 53 59 61 67 71 73
%C The sum of the reciprocals appears to converge.
%C As the terms grow faster than the triangular numbers and the sum of inverse numbers converges, the sum of inverses indeed converges. - _Joerg Arndt_, Oct 28 2015
