Category: Geometric series

In mathematics, an infinite geometric series of the form is divergent if and only if | r | ≥ 1. Methods for summation of divergent series are sometimes useful, and usually evaluate divergent geometric

In mathematics, the infinite series 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + ··· is an elementary example of a geometric series that converges absolutely. The sum of the series is 1.In summation notation, this may be

In mathematics, 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + ⋯ is the infinite series whose terms are the successive powers of two. As a geometric series, it is characterized by its first term, 1, and its common ratio, 2. As a se

In mathematics, a geometric series is the sum of an infinite number of terms that have a constant ratio between successive terms. For example, the series is geometric, because each successive term can

In mathematics, 1 − 2 + 4 − 8 + ⋯ is the infinite series whose terms are the successive powers of two with alternating signs. As a geometric series, it is characterized by its first term, 1, and its c

In mathematics, 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + ⋯, also written , , or simply , is a divergent series, meaning that its sequence of partial sums does not converge to a limit in the real numbers. The sequence 1n can b

In mathematics, the infinite series 1/2 - 1/4 + 1/8 - 1/16 + ⋯is a simple example of an alternating series that converges absolutely. It is a geometric series whose first term is 1/2 and whose common

In mathematics, the infinite series 1 − 1 + 1 − 1 + ⋯, also written is sometimes called Grandi's series, after Italian mathematician, philosopher, and priest Guido Grandi, who gave a memorable treatme

In mathematics, the infinite series 1/4 + 1/16 + 1/64 + 1/256 + ⋯ is an example of one of the first infinite series to be summed in the history of mathematics; it was used by Archimedes circa 250–200
