    The document proves that the product of sums of n numbers and their reciprocals is greater than n^2. It first states that for any numbers a1, a2, ..., an their reciprocals are defined as 1/a1, 1/a2, ..., 1/an. It then applies the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality to the numbers ai and 1/ai, which gives the inequality that the product of sums is greater than n^2.
