2. Summation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summation

   In mathematics, summation is the addition of a sequence of numbers, called addends or summands; the result is their sum or total.Beside numbers, other types of values can be summed as well: functions, vectors, matrices, polynomials and, in general, elements of any type of mathematical objects on which an operation denoted "+" is defined.

3. List of mathematical series - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_series

   An infinite series of any rational function of can be reduced to a finite series of polygamma functions, by use of partial fraction decomposition, [8] as explained here. This fact can also be applied to finite series of rational functions, allowing the result to be computed in constant time even when the series contains a large number of terms.

4. Mediant (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediant_(mathematics)

   However, if the fraction 1/1 is replaced by the fraction 2/2, which is an equivalent fraction denoting the same rational number 1, the mediant of the fractions 2/2 and 1/2 is 3/4. For a stronger connection to rational numbers the fractions may be required to be reduced to lowest terms, thereby selecting unique representatives from the ...

   First six summands drawn as portions of a square. The geometric series on the real line. In mathematics, the infinite series ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ + ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠ + ⁠ 1 / 8 ⁠ + ⁠ 1 / 16 ⁠ + ··· is an elementary example of a geometric series that converges absolutely. The sum of the series is 1. In summation notation, this may be expressed as

6. Harmonic series (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_series_(mathematics)

   In mathematics, the harmonic series is the infinite series formed by summing all positive unit fractions: = = + + + + +.. The first terms of the series sum to approximately ⁡ +, where is the natural logarithm and is the Euler–Mascheroni constant.

7. Erdős–Straus conjecture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erdős–Straus_conjecture

   A generalized version of the conjecture states that, for any positive , all but finitely many fractions can be expressed as a sum of three positive unit fractions. The conjecture for fractions 5 n {\displaystyle {\tfrac {5}{n}}} was made by Wacław Sierpiński in a 1956 paper, which went on to credit the full conjecture to Sierpiński's student ...
