List of mathematical series. This list of mathematical series contains formulae for finite and infinite sums. It can be used in conjunction with other tools for evaluating sums. is a Bernoulli polynomial. is an Euler number. is the Riemann zeta function. is the gamma function. is a polygamma function. is a polylogarithm.
Recamán's sequence: 0, 1, 3, 6, 2, 7, 13, 20, 12, 21, 11, 22, 10, 23, 9, 24, 8, 25, 43, 62, ... "subtract if possible, otherwise add": a(0) = 0; for n > 0, a(n) = a(n − 1) − n if that number is positive and not already in the sequence, otherwise a(n) = a(n − 1) + n, whether or not that number is already in the sequence.

e. In mathematics, a series is, roughly speaking, an addition of infinitely many terms, one after the other. [ 1 ] The study of series is a major part of calculus and its generalization, mathematical analysis. Series are used in most areas of mathematics, even for studying finite structures in combinatorics through generating functions.
The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS) is an online database of integer sequences. It was created and maintained by Neil Sloane while researching at AT&T Labs. He transferred the intellectual property and hosting of the OEIS to the OEIS Foundation in 2009. [4] Sloane is the chairman of the OEIS Foundation.
Sequence. An infinite sequence of real numbers (in blue). This sequence is neither increasing, decreasing, convergent, nor Cauchy. It is, however, bounded. In mathematics, a sequence is an enumerated collection of objects in which repetitions are allowed and order matters.
Once such a sequence is found, a similar question can be asked with f(n) taking the role of 1/n, and so on. In this way it is possible to investigate the borderline between divergence and convergence of infinite series. Using the integral test for convergence, one can show (see below) that, for every natural number k, the series
Telescoping series. In mathematics, a telescoping series is a series whose general term is of the form , i.e. the difference of two consecutive terms of a sequence . [ 1 ] As a consequence the partial sums only consists of two terms of after cancellation. [ 2 ][ 3 ] The cancellation technique, with part of each term cancelling with part of the ...
The shift rule is a mathematical rule for sequences and series. Here and are natural numbers. For sequences, the rule states that if is a sequence, then it converges if and only if also converges, and in this case both sequences always converge to the same number. [1] For series, the rule states that the series converges to a number if and only ...
