[edit] Representations for the G-Mean

I think it's easier to understand the geometric mean as an nth root of a product than as a product raised to the power of a reciprocal, so I added an alternative description in the beginning of the article. Should this become the only description present? Rbarreira 17:13, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I think that it should so I took the liberty of removing it. The older less standard version read: \bigg(\prod_{i=1}^n a_i \bigg)^{1/n} = (a_1 \cdot a_2 \dotsb a_n)^{1/n}

[edit] Comments to added picture

Nice picture, but what happens when n > 2? Bob.v.R 14:21, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
