What's the difference between process and series?

Process


Definition:

  • (n.) A statement of events; a narrative.
  • (n.) Any marked prominence or projecting part, especially of a bone; anapophysis.
  • (n.) The whole course of proceedings in a cause real or personal, civil or criminal, from the beginning to the end of the suit; strictly, the means used for bringing the defendant into court to answer to the action; -- a generic term for writs of the class called judicial.

Series


Definition:

  • (n.) A number of things or events standing or succeeding in order, and connected by a like relation; sequence; order; course; a succession of things; as, a continuous series of calamitous events.
  • (n.) Any comprehensive group of animals or plants including several subordinate related groups.
  • (n.) An indefinite number of terms succeeding one another, each of which is derived from one or more of the preceding by a fixed law, called the law of the series; as, an arithmetical series; a geometrical series.
