Convergent Series
In mathematics, a series is the sum of the terms of a sequence of numbers.
Given a sequence, the nth partial sum is the sum of the first n terms of the sequence, that is,
A series is convergent if the sequence of its partial sums converges. In more formal language, a series converges if there exists a limit such that for any arbitrarily small positive number, there is a large integer such that for all ,
A series that is not convergent is said to be divergent.

Famous quotes containing the word series:
“Life ... is not simply a series of exciting new ventures. The future is not always a whole new ball game. There tends to be unfinished business. One trails all sorts of things around with one, things that simply won’t be got rid of.”
—Anita Brookner (b. 1928)
