Infinite series: write the first five partial sums for sum(n/(n+1))

We write the first five partial sums for the infinite series n/(n+1). Partial sums are important because they give us a way to define convergence of an infinite series (limit of the sequence of partial sums). This example helps to clarify the meaning of a partial sum.
