Arithmetic & Geometric Series Sum
Carl Friedrich Gauss & Archimedes · 1785 CE
Computes finite and infinite sums of progressions in closed form; for |r| < 1, an infinite geometric series converges to a / (1 - r).

Geometric & Intuitive Insight
S_n 에 공비 r을 곱한 r·S_n 을 원래 S_n 에서 빼면 중간 항들이 도미노처럼 모두 지워지고 첫째항 a와 마지막 항 ar^n 만 남습니다(망원급수 원리).
Step-by-Step Derivation
- Step 1.1단계: S_n = a + ar + ar² + … + ar^(n-1) 의 양변에 r을 곱합니다 → rS_n = ar + ar² + … + ar^n
- Step 2.2단계: 두 식을 빼면 (1 - r)S_n = a - ar^n = a(1 - r^n) 이 됩니다.
- Step 3.3단계: r ≠ 1 일 때 S_n = a(1 - r^n)/(1 - r) 이며, |r| < 1 이고 n → ∞ 이면 r^n → 0 이 되어 S_∞ = a/(1 - r)
