    The partial sums of the series 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + ⋯ are 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, etc.The nth partial sum is given by a simple formula: = = (+). This equation was known ...

    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. Ramanujan summation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramanujan_summation

    Ramanujan summation is a technique invented by the mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan for assigning a value to divergent infinite series.Although the Ramanujan summation of a divergent series is not a sum in the traditional sense, it has properties that make it mathematically useful in the study of divergent infinite series, for which conventional summation is undefined.

  5. Aliquot sum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliquot_sum

    In number theory, the aliquot sum s(n) of a positive integer n is the sum of all proper divisors of n, that is, all divisors of n other than n itself. That is, = |,. It can be used to characterize the prime numbers, perfect numbers, sociable numbers, deficient numbers, abundant numbers, and untouchable numbers, and to define the aliquot sequence of a number.

  6. Summation by parts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summation_by_parts

    [2] Summation by parts is frequently used to prove Abel's theorem and Dirichlet's test. One can also use this technique to prove Abel's test: If is a convergent series, and a bounded monotone sequence, then = = converges. Proof of Abel's test.

  7. 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 .

  8. Series (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    For instance, rearranging the terms of the alternating harmonic series so that each positive term of the original series is followed by two negative terms of the original series rather than just one yields [34] + + + = + + + = + + + = (+ + +), which is times the original series, so it would have a sum of half of the natural logarithm of 2. By ...

  9. Arithmetic progression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_progression

    The sum of the members of a finite arithmetic progression is called an arithmetic series. For example, consider the sum: For example, consider the sum: 2 + 5 + 8 + 11 + 14 = 40 {\displaystyle 2+5+8+11+14=40}
