series| Sum of the terms of a sequence. Series may be convergent (the limit of the sum is a finite number) or divergent (the limit is infinite). For example, 1 + 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + ... is a convergent series because the limit of the sum is 2; 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ... is a divergent series. |
series| In music, the numerical expression of note orders of a tone row, related to a starting pitch of 1. The US composer Milton Babbitt introduced a convention of numbering a series as intervals from zero (unison with the starting note) to a maximum of 11 half-steps or semitones. |

| It was then, as it is to-day, an irregular trapezoid, bordered on one side by the quay, and on the other three by a series of lofty, narrow, and gloomy houses. For, after a long series of military successes, or diligent and skilful labours, it is generally found that the more intelligent among the Artisan and Soldier classes manifest a slight increase of their third side or base, and a shrinkage of the two other sides. Yet the old time fairy tale, having served for generations, may now be classed as "historical" in the children's library; for the time has come for a series of newer "wonder tales" in which the stereotyped genie, dwarf and fairy are eliminated, together with all the horrible and blood-curdling incidents devised by their authors to point a fearsome moral to each tale. |
