1. An arithmetic series is a series formed by adding the terms of an arithmetic sequence. The sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic series is called the partial sum, denoted by Sn. 2. The general formula for calculating the partial sum Sn of an arithmetic series is Sn = n(a1 + an)/2, where n is the number of terms, a1 is the first term, and an is the nth term. 3. Sigma notation is used to express the summation of terms in an arithmetic series as Σa + (a+d) + (a+2d) + ... where a is the first term, d is the common difference, and the terms are summed from

Arithmetic Series
An arithmetic series is a series whose related sequence is
arithmetic. It results from adding the terms of an arithmetic
sequence.
For example:
Arithmetic sequence (list):
2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,...

Arithmetic series (sum):


2+4+6+8+112+116+...

The sum of the first terms in an arithmetic sequence is called partial sum.
The partial sum is denoted by the symbol Sn.
Below is the general form of the arithmetic series formula:

Where;

n - the number of the terms being added


a1- the first term
an - the nth term(last term)
For example
S100= 100 [ 1+ 100 ]
1. Find the sum of the first 100 natural numbers.
Finite arithmetic sequence
2
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,...,100 = 100[ 101]
And its related arithmetic series as, 2
1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+...+100 = 100 (101)
2
Sn = n (a1 + an) = 50(101)
2

Since; a1 = 1
a100 = 100 S100 = 5,050
n = 100
Below is the Alternative formula for the arithmetic series.Consider this
if the last term is not given.
Formula:

a. Sn = n[a1 + a1+(n - 1) d]
2
b. Sn = n [2a1 + (n-1) d]
2
c. Sn = n [2a1 + (n -
1) ]
2
Also an arithmetic series can be presented using the
ellipes;However there is also specific notation that
expresses an arithmetic series. This series requires the What is that funny
upper case Greek letter sigma. symbol? It is called
Sigma Notation
To sum up the terms of this arithmetic sequence:
a + (a+d) + (a+2d) + (a+3d) + ...

Use this formula:


Part(called
01 Sigma) means "sum up"
And below and above it are shown the starting and ending

It says "Sum up n where n goes from 1 to 4.


Answer=10
Example 3
1. Add up the first 10 terms of the arithmetic sequence:
{ 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, ... }

The values of a, d and n are:


a = 1 (the first term)
d = 3 (the "common difference" between terms)
n = 10 (how many terms to add up)
So: Becomes:

= 5(2+9·3) = 5(29) = 145


Example 2
Find the partial sum of the given arithmetic series
7+ 12+17+22+27+...+187
First term last term

7 + 12+17+22+27+...+187
V V V V
+5 +5 +5 +5
Then;
a1 = 7
d =5
an = 187
n =?
Use the nth term Finally,we have all the values that we
Which is the an = a1 + ( n -1)d need to calculate the sum of the given
series which are n = 37, a1 = 7,and an=
187
an = a1 + (n -1) d Sn= n (a1 + an)
2
S37= 37(7 +187)
187=7 + (n - 1)5 2

S37= 37 (194)
187= 7+5n - 5 2
S37 = 37 (97)
187= 2 + 5n
187 - 2 = 5n ✔️
S37= 3,589
185= 5n
5 5 n = 37
