Series - The Basics

That topic is infinite series.  So just define what is an infinite series?  Well, let's start with a sequence {a_n}^∞_n=1 (note the n=1 is for convenience, it can be anything) and describe the following,

The s_n are called partial sums and notice that they will form a sequence, {s_n}^∞_n=1.  Also recall that the ∑ is used to present this summation and termed as a variety of names. The most general names are:

a. Series notation,

b. Summation notation, and
