...of the series 1 + e -f- i + 4 etc., is evidently less than 2; but by taking a great number of terms, the sum can be made to differ from 2 by as little as we please. Hence 2 is the limit of the sum of the series, when the number of the terms is increased indefinitely... | |

...many terms of this series are taken, the sum can never equal 2; but by taking a great number of terms the sum can be made to differ from 2 by as little as we please. Hence we say that the limit of the sum of the series as the number of terms is indefinitly increased... | |

...approaches the finite value 2 more and more nearly as more and more terms are included in the sum, and that the sum can be made to differ from 2 by as little...we please, by taking a sufficient number of terms. The exact sum 2, however, can never be obtained. This theory can be applied to find the value of a... | |
