shŭ-jĕ), fl. 1280–1303, Chinese mathematician. He contributed to the study of arithmetic and geometric series series, in mathematics, indicated sum of a sequence of terms. A series may be finite or infinite. A finite series contains a definite number of terms whose sum can be found by various methods. An infinite series is a sum of infinitely many terms, e.g.
