00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.005
Here is the problem: 1 plus 2 plus 3 plus... plus 50.

2
00:00:04.455 --> 00:00:10.016
An arithmetic series: first term 1, common difference 1, last term 50.

3
00:00:10.816 --> 00:00:11.884
Count the terms.

4
00:00:12.334 --> 00:00:14.668
Use the arithmetic series formula.

5
00:00:15.468 --> 00:00:18.730
So the answer is 1275.

6
00:00:19.180 --> 00:00:24.323
An arithmetic series: first term 1, common difference 1, last term 50.
