infinite seriesIn mathematics, the sum of infinitely many numbers, whose relationship can typically be expressed as a formula or a function. An infinite series that results in a finite sum is said to converge (see convergence). One that does not, diverges. Mathematical analysis is largely taken up with studying the conditions under which a given function will result in a convergent infinite series. Such series (e.g., the Fourier series) are particularly useful in solving differential equations. infinite series [′in·fə·nət ′sir·ēz] (mathematics) An indicated sum of an infinite sequence of quantities, writtena1+a2+a3+ ⋯, or How to thank TFD for its existence?
