  2. Geometric series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_series

    The geometric series is an infinite series derived from a special type of sequence called a geometric progression.This means that it is the sum of infinitely many terms of geometric progression: starting from the initial term , and the next one being the initial term multiplied by a constant number known as the common ratio .

  3. Geometric progression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_progression

    This corresponds to a similar property of sums of terms of a finite arithmetic sequence: the sum of an arithmetic sequence is the number of terms times the arithmetic mean of the first and last individual terms. This correspondence follows the usual pattern that any arithmetic sequence is a sequence of logarithms of terms of a geometric ...

  4. List of mathematical series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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. Here, is taken to have the value

  5. 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + ⋯ - ⋯ - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1/2_%2B_1/4_%2B_1/8_%2B_1/...

    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.

  6. Arithmetico-geometric sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetico-geometric_sequence

    An arithmetico-geometric series is a sum of terms that are the elements of an arithmetico-geometric sequence. Arithmetico-geometric sequences and series arise in various applications, such as the computation of expected values in probability theory , especially in Bernoulli processes .

  7. Summation - Wikipedia

    where i is the index of summation; a i is an indexed variable representing each term of the sum; m is the lower bound of summation, and n is the upper bound of summation. The "i = m" under the summation symbol means that the index i starts out equal to m. The index, i, is incremented by one for each successive term, stopping when i = n. [b]

  8. List of sums of reciprocals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sums_of_reciprocals

    The n-th harmonic number, which is the sum of the reciprocals of the first n positive integers, is never an integer except for the case n = 1. Moreover, József Kürschák proved in 1918 that the sum of the reciprocals of consecutive natural numbers (whether starting from 1 or not) is never an integer.

  9. Cesàro summation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cesàro_summation

    In mathematical analysis, Cesàro summation (also known as the Cesàro mean [1] [2] or Cesàro limit [3]) assigns values to some infinite sums that are not necessarily convergent in the usual sense. The Cesàro sum is defined as the limit, as n tends to infinity, of the sequence of arithmetic means of the first n partial sums of the series.
