arithmetic series A series a1 + a2 + a3 + … (which may be finite or infinite) in which the terms form an arithmetic sequence. Let sn be the nth partial sum (that is, the sum of the first n terms). Then sn is given by the formula where a is the first term and l is the last (nth) term. In particular, when a = 1 and the common difference d = 1:
