Показать описание

The partial sum of an infinite series as the sum of the first few terms (and hence it's only partial). This seemingly simple concept is very useful in thinking about infinite series.

I love this guy: ''If someone were to walk up to you on street and say -Okay, now that you know notation for a partial sum... ''

How do you know what the SsubN is based on the Series? 😅 Or is it just actually given when solving the problem?

Is there a general way to derive the partial sum formula from an infinite sigma notation (assuming that the infinite series is convergent)?

Ssub6 if it is adding all the terms is equal to 102515/255936. Please explain why you only used the last one as in

So partial sum is just a shortcut to do a sum? (Like, converting a sigma notation that has variable i in it and an upper boundary of n to some formula that no longer requires the i variable and uses n variable instead?)

like others if you are going ro find a partial sum you are supposed to add a sub 1 - a sub 6 but you just computed the S sub 6??

3:00 let's just pull that out of thin air. I hate that I don't get any of this

This makes no sense. If you're adding a1+a2+a3+a4+a5+a6 then why do you only calculate

Can you tell how we can say this series cgs to a number meaning finding that number

Bro, it could be reduced to 3/20, just divide by 11.

The sum of the first 6 terms cannot be equal to the 6th term alone. What the hell is this?
