A signal-processing algorithm's worst-case cumulative error is bounded by ∑n=1∞cn2=cπ26\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\dfrac{c}{n^2}=\dfrac{c\pi^2}6 (using ∑n=1∞1n2=π26\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\dfrac1{n^2}=\dfrac{\pi^2}6), for a positive integer constant cc. Engineers require this worst-case bound to be no more than 55 units. What is the largest value of cc they can use?
