Convergent

Guess what? Convergent is a vocabulary word in math. It means this: When two lines that meet each other at a point. So, for example, a convergent line. Just kidding, I'll give you some sentence examples:
1. The movement of the series becomes no longer a cycle, but spiral, and convergent or divergent at a greater or less rate according to circumstances We cannot conceive of all the atoms in the universe standing twice over in absolutely the same relation each one of them to every other. —  Selections from Previous Works and Remarks on Romanes' Mental Evolution in Animals
2. Expressed in bare numbers, it is like the convergent series 1/2 plus 1/4 plus 1/8..., of which the limit is one. —  A Pluralistic Universe Hibbert Lectures at Manchester College on the Present Situation in Philosophy
Ok! Today I'll be checking if I got some comments for the one I asked .
