Ex(2): 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 ... Ex(3): 1/2, 3/2, 5/2, 7/2... In example 1, you can see the difference between two consecutive terms: 2-1 = 1, 3-2 = 1, 4-3 = 1... and so on.  In example 2: 4-2 = 2                       6-4 = 2                       8-6 = 2 and so on. Similarly, the difference of the two terms in example 3 is 1/2. A series in which consecutive terms differ by a constant (fixed) value is called arithmetic series.  The first term is often represented by T1 or a, and the fixed difference is denoted by "d" If we observe this type of series, we can write it as: a, (a+d), (a+2d), (a+3d),... The first term contains no d, or it may be written as (1-1)d The second t...
