Definition: Infinite Series, Partial Sums

Let $(x_n)_{n\in\mathbb N}$ be a real sequence (or a complex sequence). The sequence $(s_n)_{n\in\mathbb N}$ of partial sums $$s_n:=\sum_{k=0}^n x_k,\quad\quad n\in\mathbb N$$ is called the (infinite) series $$\sum_{k=0}^\infty x_k\quad\quad( * ).$$

Note: If the sequence of partial sums is convergent, the expression $(*)$ also denotes the limit (i.e. the real or complex number) to which the sequence converges.
