No, mathematical series is the sum of a sequence: <http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Series.html>. An alternative to "sequence" would be "progression." > (More accurately, I believe it's an algebraic series.) It is an "arithmetic progression": <http://mathworld.wolfram.com/ArithmeticProgression.html>. _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
