    1/4 + 1/16 + 1/64 + 1/256 + ⋯. Archimedes' figure with a = ⁠ 3 4 ⁠. In mathematics, the infinite series ⁠ 1 4 ⁠ + ⁠ 1 16 ⁠ + ⁠ 1 64 ⁠ + ⁠ 1 256 ⁠ + ⋯ is an example of one of the first infinite series to be summed in the history of mathematics; it was used by Archimedes circa 250–200 BC. [1] As it is a geometric series ...

  6. 1/2 − 1/4 + 1/8 − 1/16 + ⋯ - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1/2_%E2%88%92_1/4_%2B_1/8...

    1/21/4 + 1/8 − 1/16 + ⋯. Demonstration that 1 21 4 + 1 8 − 1 16 + ⋯ = 1 3. In mathematics, the infinite series 1/21/4 + 1/8 − 1/16 + ⋯ is a simple example of an alternating series that converges absolutely . It is a geometric series whose first term is 1 2 and whose common ratio is − 1 2, so its sum is.
