A series is an infinite sum of terms in a sequence, while a partial sum only includes a finite number of terms.
The concept that describes whether or not an infinite series or sequence approaches a certain value as more terms are added.
The opposite of convergence, where an infinite series or sequence does not approach any specific value as more terms are added.
