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:
“Through a series of gradual power losses, the modern parent is in danger of losing sight of her own child, as well as her own vision and style. It’s a very big price to pay emotionally. Too bad it’s often accompanied by an equally huge price financially.”
—Sonia Taitz (20th century)
