Example 2: Partial Sum Sequence

Every sequence

S1, S2, S3 ...,Sn, ...

is the partial sum sequence of an infinite series, namely

S1 + (S2 - S1) + (S3 - S2) + ... + (S,n+1, - Sn) + ....

For example,

09_infinite_series-75.gif

is the partial sum sequence of

09_infinite_series-76.gif

or

09_infinite_series-77.gif
