What is an Arithmetic Progression?

An Arithmetic Progression or simply AP is a sequence of numbers such that successive terms are obtained by adding a constant number to the first term. That fixed number is called the common difference of the Arithmetic Progression. For example, the sequence 2, 5, 8, 11, 14,... is an Arithmetic Progression with first term is 2 and common difference is 3. An AP is a convergent sequence if and only if the common difference is 0, otherwise an AP is always divergent.
