Definition 1
Let $V$ be a normed vector space.
Let $d$ be the induced metric on $V$.
Let $\ds S := \sum_{n \mathop = 1}^\infty a_n$ be a series in $V$.
$S$ is convergent if and only if its sequence $\sequence {s_N}$ of partial sums converges in the metric space $\struct {V, d}$.
Definition 2
Let $\struct {V, \norm {\, \cdot \,} }$ be a normed vector space.
Let $\ds S := \sum_{n \mathop = 1}^\infty a_n$ be a series in $V$.
$S$ is convergent if and only if its sequence $\sequence {s_N}$ of partial sums converges in the normed vector space $\struct {V, \norm {\, \cdot \,} }$.
