      3 Ch 6.1
      4 
      5 **Definition:** The sum of the geometric series is the formula to solve a sequence of the form ab^0 + ab^1 .... ab^n.
      6 
      7 The formula is as follows:
      8 
      9 $S_n = \frac{a(r^n-1)}{r-1}$
     10 
     11 Where we have S_n the sum, a the constant, r the base of the exponential (common ratio), and n the total number of iterations.
