<p>Geometric Series: A series of terms where each term is the<a>product</a>of the previous term and a constant ratio. Common Ratio: The constant<a>factor</a>between successive terms in a geometric series. Converge: When the terms of a series approach a finite limit as the number of terms increases. First Term: The initial term in a series, denoted as 'a'. Infinite Series: A series that continues indefinitely.</p>
