Be the sum of the first n terms of this series. Depending on whether or not s n converges towards a fixed limit∈dex{limit} for increasing values of n, we say that series (3) is convergent and that it has this limit as its sum, or else that it is divergent and it does not have a sum. The first case evidently occurs if the two sums.
