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:
“I thought I never wanted to be a father. A child seemed to be a series of limitations and responsibilities that offered no reward. But when I experienced the perfection of fatherhood, the rest of the world remade itself before my eyes.”
—Kent Nerburn (20th century)
