How it works

Sum the first n terms of a geometric series and find the infinite sum when convergent.

Who it's for: Calculus and finance students working with geometric progressions.

Computes Sₙ = a₁(1 − rⁿ)/(1 − r) for r ≠ 1.

Shows infinite sum S∞ = a₁/(1 − r) when |r| < 1.

Useful for annuity and decay models.

How to use

  1. Enter first term a₁, common ratio r, and number of terms n.
  2. Read Sₙ and S∞ (when applicable).
