Depreciation methods are sometimes used by businesses and individuals to estimate the value of an asset over a life span of $n$ years. In the sum-of-year's-digits method, for each year $k=1,2,3, \ldots, n,$ the value of an asset is decreased by the fraction $A_{k}=\frac{n-k+1}{T_{n}}$ of its initial cost, where $T_{n}=1+2+3+\cdots+n$. (a) If $n$ is any positive integer, find $A_{1}, A_{2}, A_{3}, \ldots, A_{n}$. (b) Show that the sequence in (a) is arithmetic, and find $S_{n^{*}}$.
