Abstract

From Zeno to Cantor, infinite series have had an important influence on the conceptual development of mathematics. Problems in the summation of infinite series forced mathematicians to think deeply about the concepts of number, function, and infinity itself. Stillwell's main aim is to celebrate infinite series themselves, and the enchanting, almost unbelievable connections they establish between diverse mathematical objects.
