Quote:
The most compelling reason for learning about infinite series (or so I
tell my students) is that they’re stunning connectors. They reveal
ties between different areas of mathematics, unexpected links between
everything that came before. It’s only when you get to this part of
calculus that the true structure of math — all of math — finally
starts to emerge.
