Problem Statement

a) Calculate the product (1+12)(1+13)(1+14)...(1+12006)(1+12007)\left(1+\frac{1}{2}\right) \left(1+\frac{1}{3}\right) \left(1+\frac{1}{4}\right)... \left(1+\frac{1}{2006}\right) \left(1+\frac{1}{2007}\right) b) Let the set A={12,13,14,...,12006,12007}A =\left\{\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{3},\frac{1}{4}, ...,\frac{1}{2006}, \frac{1}{2007}\right\} Determine the sum of all products of 22, of 44, of 66,... , of 20042004 ¸and of 2006 2006 different elements of the set AA.
