_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Conductance matrix for resistors of arbitrary resistance in series

_U_s_a_g_e:

     series(n, x = 1)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

       n: Number of resistors.  See details.

       x: The resistances of the resistors.  Either a scalar, or a
          vector of length 'n' is assumed but standard recycling is
          used.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     *Note:* the function returns a conductance matrix of size 'n+1' by
     'n+1', because 'n' resistors in series have 'n+1' nodes to
     consider.

     ## Resistance of four resistors in series:

     resistance(series(5),1,5) ##sic!  FOUR resistors have FIVE nodes

     ## What current do we need to push into a circuit of four equal
     ## resistors in order to maintain the potentials at 1v, 2v, ..., 6v?

     circuit(series(5),v=1:6)
