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:
“History is nothing but a procession of false Absolutes, a series of temples raised to pretexts, a degradation of the mind before the Improbable.”
—E.M. Cioran (b. 1911)
