Lesson 1.2: Arithmetic Series
Completion requirements
In Lesson 1.1, you investigated several properties of arithmetic sequences. In this lesson, you will look at arithmetic series. While the term sequence is one you might use in everyday conversation, the term series usually describes a group of events. The key to understanding series is to connect the term series with the concept of addition.
In Lesson 1.2, you will
