	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Arithmetic series
		In mathematics, an arithmetic series is the sum of the components of an arithmetic progression.
		Series may be finite, or infinite; in the first case they may be handled with elementary algebra, but infinite series require tools from mathematical analysis if they are to be applied in anything more than a tentative way.
		Series for the expansion of sines and cosines, of multiple arcs in powers of the sine and cosine of the arc had been treated by Jakob Bernoulli (1702) and his brother Johann Bernoulli (1701) and still earlier by Viète.

	Draw Sizer - Arithmetic Progression
		This utility employs arithmetic progression to compute drawer face heights by progressively adding a fixed increment to successive drawers beginning with the top drawer.
		With arithmetic progression, the heights of successive drawer faces differ by a constant amount or "increment".
		Arithmetic progression is fairly straightforward, especially when you already have values in mind for the height of the top drawer, the number of drawers, and the height increment.

		A series is formed by the sum of the terms of a sequence.
		Arithmetic series is a sum of a number each of which, after the first, is obtained by adding to the preceding number a constant number called the common difference.
		Geometric series is a sum of a number each of which, after the first, is obtained by multiplying the preceding number by a constant number called common ratio.

	The 'Quilting' Lesson - Arithmetic Vs. Geometric Series
		This is a lesson idea which, oddly enough, could be used either in a high school mathematics class, to explore the differences between arithmetic and geometric series, or as a lesson in a leadership/teaching seminar.
		This is an arithmetic progression, and if you are using this lesson in a math class, you should point that out.
		This is a good exercise for a math class because, like the Chess Board Problem, it gives a simple but obvious demonstration of how a geometric series can "explode" in comparison to an arithmetic series.

		If NEITHER of these conditions is satisfied, then obviously it is neither arithmetic nor geometric.FYI, there are MANY MANY different type of sequences and series...
		You do not need to "do the difference" becuse you already know that the sequence is arithmetic, so it can’t be geometric.As to why we call it a "partial sum"; the reason is that all sequences are "infinite".
		So this is an infinite geometric sequence. If you try to sum the "first 13 terms" or some such thing, then it would be called a "partial sum".

		We can do this by finding the first few terms of the series and determining if the series is arithmetic or geometric.
		Since the number at the top of the sigma or summation symbol is an infinity, we need to do two thing: determine if this series is geometric and if it is, determine if the common ratio has an absolute value less than 1.

		Now we're going to add those two series together (we know they have the same number of terms because it's just the same series written two different ways round).
		The result must be twice the sum we're looking for, since both series separately add up to that sum.
		And we've got N pairs of terms (since that's the number of terms in the series) so the total sum is Nx(2a+(N-1)d).
