Definition:Absolutely Convergent Series/Complex Numbers

Definition
Let $\displaystyle \sum_{n \mathop = 1}^\infty a_n$ be a series in the complex number field $\C$.

Then $\displaystyle \sum_{n \mathop = 1}^\infty a_n$ is absolutely convergent :
 * $\displaystyle \sum_{n \mathop = 1}^\infty \cmod {a_n}$ is convergent

where $\cmod {a_n}$ denotes the complex modulus of $a_n$.
