This page gives a great overview of series in mathematics, including a definition of convergence and divergence. Provides links to more information about specific types of series.

The definition of a series is provided in a PDF document. The document also details the geometric, telescoping and harmonic series, tests for divergence, and series rules.

Given the first few terms in a geometric sequence, find the next term in the sequence. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.
