Let an∈Ra_{n} \in \mathbb{R} for n⩾1n \geqslant 1. What does it mean to say that the infinite series ∑nan\sum_{n} a_{n} converges to some value AA ? Let sn=a1+⋯+ans_{n}=a_{1}+\cdots+a_{n} for all n⩾1n \geqslant 1. Show that if ∑nan\sum_{n} a_{n} converges to some value AA, then the sequence whose nn-th term is

(s1+⋯+sn)/n\left(s_{1}+\cdots+s_{n}\right) / n

converges to some value A~\tilde{A} as n→∞n \rightarrow \infty. Is it always true that A=A~A=\tilde{A} ? Give an example where (s1+⋯+sn)/n\left(s_{1}+\cdots+s_{n}\right) / n converges but ∑nan\sum_{n} a_{n} does not.
