Series -- from Wolfram MathWorld (793 words) |
 | The term infinite series is sometimes used to emphasize the fact that series contain an infinite number of terms. |
 | Riemann series theorem states that, by a suitable rearrangement of terms, a so-called conditionally convergent series may be made to converge to any desired value, or to diverge. |
 | Although terms of a series can have either sign, convergence properties can often be computed in the "worst case" of all terms being positive, and then applied to the particular series at hand. |
