# sum-series

> Compute the sum of an [infinite series][infinite-series].

<section class="usage">

## Usage

```javascript
var sumSeries = require( '@stdlib/math/base/tools/sum-series' );
```

#### sumSeries( generator\[, options ] )

Computes the sum of the series given by the supplied `generator` argument. `generator` can be either an ES6 [Generator object][es6-generator] or a function which returns successive elements of the series at each invocation.

Using an ES6 [Generator object][es6-generator]:

<!-- eslint-disable no-restricted-syntax, n/no-unsupported-features/es-syntax -->

```javascript
var pow = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/pow' );
var gen = geometricSeriesGenerator( 0.9 );
var out = sumSeries( gen );
// returns 10

function* geometricSeriesGenerator( x ) {
    var exponent = 0;
    while ( true ) {
        yield pow( x, exponent );
        exponent += 1;
    }
}
```

function* log1pSeries( x ) {
    var mMult = -x;
    var mProd = -1;
    var k = 0;
    while ( true ) {
        mProd *= mMult;
        k += 1;
        yield ( mProd / k );
    }
}

console.log( 'log1p(0.5) evaluated via math-log1p module: %d', log1p( 0.5 ) );
console.log( 'log1p(0.5) evaluated via infinite series expansion: %d', sumSeries( log1pSeries( 0.5 ) ) );
