Problem

What is the product of $\frac{3}{2}\times\frac{4}{3}\times\frac{5}{4}\times\cdots\times\frac{2006}{2005}$ ?

$\textbf{(A)}\ 1\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 1002\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 1003\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 2005\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 2006$

By telescoping, it's easy to see the sum becomes $\frac{2006}{2}=\boxed{\textbf{(C)}\ 1003}$ .
