Convergent series
Builds on SeriesPartial sumConvergent sequence
Definition
Let be a series of real numbers with partial sums . The series is convergent if the sequence is a convergent sequence.
Remarks
The series converges, since its partial sums tend to . The limit of the partial sums is the sum of the series. A series that does not converge is a divergent series. Changing finitely many terms does not change whether a series converges. It can change the sum.
