\begin{definition}[Definition:Arithmetic Series]
An '''arithmetic series''' is a series whose underlying sequence is an arithmetic sequence:
{{begin-eqn}}
{{eqn | l = S_n
      | r = \sum_{k \mathop = 0}^{n - 1} a + k d
      | c = 
}}
{{eqn | r = a + \paren {a + d} + \paren {a + 2 d} + \cdots + \paren {a + \paren {n - 1} d}
      | c = 
}}
{{end-eqn}}
