Arithmetic Series

The document discusses arithmetic series and provides the formula to calculate the sum of terms in an arithmetic series. It gives the formula as Sn = (n/2) * (2a1 + (n-1)d), where n is the number of terms, a1 is the first term, and d is the common difference. It then works through three examples, applying the formula to find the sum of terms for different arithmetic sequences with given starting terms and differences between terms.
