18 Οκτ 2018 · In this section we define an infinite series and show how series are related to sequences. We also define what it means for a series to converge or diverge. We introduce one of the most important types of series: the geometric series.

- 8.2: Infinite Series
29 Δεκ 2020 · The sum ∞ ∑ n = 1an is an infinite series (or, simply series). Let Sn = n ∑ i = 1ai; the sequence {Sn} is the sequence of nth partial sums of {an}. If the sequence {Sn} diverges, the series ∞ ∑ n = 1an diverges. Using our new terminology, we can state that the series ∞ ∑ n = 11 / 2n converges, and ∞ ∑ n = 11 / 2n = 1.
The infinite series $$ \sum_{k=0}^{\infty}a_k $$ converges if the sequence of partial sums converges and diverges otherwise. For a particular series, one or more of the common convergence tests may be most convenient to apply.
13 Αυγ 2024 · In this section we will discuss in greater detail the convergence and divergence of infinite series. We will illustrate how partial sums are used to determine if an infinite series converges or diverges. We will also give the Divergence Test for series in this section.
Infinite Series. The sum of infinite terms that follow a rule. When we have an infinite sequence of values: 1 2 , 1 4 , 1 8 , 1 16 , ... which follow a rule (in this case each term is half the previous one), and we add them all up: 1 2 + 1 4 + 1 8 + 1 16 + ... = S. we get an infinite series.
A series is convergent (or converges) if and only if the sequence of its partial sums tends to a limit; that means that, when adding one after the other in the order given by the indices, one gets partial sums that become closer and closer to a given number.
an infinite series has infinitely many terms. It is not easy to know the sum of those terms. More than that, it is not certain that there is a sum. We need tests, to decide if the series converges. We also need ideas, to discover what the series converges to. Here are examples of convergence, divergence, and oscillation: The first series converges.
