A series is the sum of the terms in a sequence. It represents the total value obtained by adding up all the terms in a sequence.
Imagine you have a piggy bank and every day you put some money into it. The series would be the total amount of money you have saved over time, which is equal to the sum of all the individual amounts you put in each day.
Convergent Series: A convergent series is a series that has a finite sum or approaches a specific value as more terms are added.
Divergent Series: A divergent series is a series that does not have a finite sum and keeps increasing or decreasing without approaching any specific value.
Geometric Series: A geometric series is a special type of series where each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by a constant ratio.
