4. SERIES
Basically a Series is the sum of the finite or infinite number if terms in a
sequence.
Let the terms of an infinite sequence be
A finite series is the sum of the first n terms of a sequence.it is also reffered to
as the nth partial sum of a sequence. A finite series is denoted by
𝑠𝑛=∑
𝑖=1

𝑎𝑖=𝑎1+𝑎2+𝑎3+...+𝑎𝑛
𝑎1,𝑎2 ,...,𝑎𝑗 ,...
5. SERIES
An infinite series is the sum of all terms of an infinite sequence. It is denoted
by
The Greek capital letter sigma is used to indicate summation.
Other names used for this symbol are series notation, summation notation, and
sigma notation.

• Solve problems involving arithmetic series
27. Recall arithmetic sequence
Arithmetic Sequence
• In an Arithmetic Sequence the difference between one term and the next
is a constant.
Example
