This monograph is a compendium of basic definitions and theorems about real and complex series. Chapter I presents the definition and fundamental properties of series, and reviews the familiar tests of convergence for series of positive terms. Chapter II discusses absolute convergence, Abel's theorem, alternating series and the tails of series. Chapter III focusses on sequences and series of functions, including discussions of uniform convergence and of the continuity, differentiability and integrability of a series of functions. Chapter IV considers power series, the analytical properties of such series, Maclaurin's theorem, and a brief introduction to analytic functions. Finally, Chapter V is devoted to the study of Fourier series. No proofs are given. A key feature of this monograph is the considerable number of relevant exercises sprinkled throughout the five chapters. More than two-thirds of the book is devoted to the presentation of detailed solutions to these exercises.
