The intention of this diploma is to present the concept of continued fractions, their conection with infinite series and some analitical functions. There will be also presented the concept of numerical series.
There is a lot of history behind the continued fractions. I will only mention a few most important names which are linked with beginnings of continued fractions.
At the end I will present two most known constants, numbers pi and e. I will try to write them with continued fractions using infinite series because of their close connection.
