In mathematics, an alternating series is an infinite series of the form
with an ≥ 0 (or an ≤ 0) for all n. Like any series, an alternating series converges if and only if the associated sequence of partial sums converges.

Famous quotes containing the word series:
“If the technology cannot shoulder the entire burden of strategic change, it nevertheless can set into motion a series of dynamics that present an important challenge to imperative control and the industrial division of labor. The more blurred the distinction between what workers know and what managers know, the more fragile and pointless any traditional relationships of domination and subordination between them will become.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
