CHAPTER15
Infinite Series
In This Chapter
- Investigating infinite geometric series
- Studying tests of convergence: ratio, comparison, and integral
- Examining alternating series and absolute and conditional convergence
- Estimating sums of alternating series with a maximum error estimate
Whereas a sequence is a listing of numbers that come from a defined pattern, a series is the sum of the terms of the sequence. In the next two chapters, we will examine infinite series. We’ll lay down the basics for infinite series in this chapter and work further with some important series in Chapter 16.
Infinite Geometric Series
A geometric sequence is defined ...
