If you are given a series and you find it's interval of convergence, how would you find what it sums to in it's radius of convergence?
 
Depends on the nature of the pattern of the series, whether it is arithmetic, geometric, etc,
maybe the sum can be rewritten as a formula in terms of the number of terms, or whether it is infinite.

Do you have a specific series?
 
It depends on your independent variable, and its sum may not be easy to find. If you were asked to find the value of a series (and it isn't a trick question!), its likely you'll need to employ techniques previously learned (e.g. squeeze theorem).
