Choosing Which Convergence Test to Apply to 8 Series
Deciding which convergence test to apply to a given series is often the hardest part of the unit on series convergence. In this video, I'm going to loosely walk through some larger strategies for picking and choosing the method, focusing on 8 different series and 8 different methods:
Geometric Series
Integral Test
Divergence Test
Alternating Series Test
Comparison Test
Limit Comparison Test
Ratio Test
Root Test

this guys speaks so enthusiastically about this subject while I'm stressing about my exam lol
I appreciate the enthusiasm. Helps when I'm watching this at midnight for some last-minute cramming. Very helpful, thank you!
1 hour till my final for calc2 , guys this course is heavy af
When your teacher explains 2 hours for one type of convergence test, this video explains 8 of them for only 12mins..... Thank you for uploading this video! Helped a lot !
Dr. Bazett if you were my calc professor I'd have an A. You explained the ratio test as an extended version of the geometric test and concisely explained the difference when to use the direct vs limit comparison tests! Thank you for this!!!!
This is one of the most concise and efficient review videos of series/sequences I've come across in my late-night-before-exam cram
this video is fireeeee my tests in 2 hours this is exactly what i needed<3
great great great! thank you so much also thank you for your elevated energy in this question, feels so much healthier and happier to be learnign from someone so excited to share this :)
Thank you for this really nice video, Dr. Bazett!! Thank you for going to the details of why you did what you did instead of just presenting the solutions!
This guy speaks very passionitly and its amazing keep up the amazing vids homie!
Thanks so much, Dr. Bazett! I can see the patterns to use to differentiate and evaluate these various series.
I wished he explained where he got that 1/25 from on that first geometric series. "I can pull out 2 factors of 5..." isn't quite clear. Just a random 2 factors?
I want to be as excited about anything in my life as this guy is about convergence testing
Exactly what I was looking for. Please make another video discussing more examples.
I had trouble with determining what to use, so thank you so much for making this video!
thank you!! it’s sooo hard to find concise videos like this
Thank you, Dr. Bazett for creating helpful videos. The quality of your production is amazing. I wish to learn more from you. I hope to make videos similar to yours.
Found this right before my final, you're a life saver!
Thanks from the bottom of my heart. You truly are a legend ❤️❤️❤️
you seem so proud of your progress and im over struggling and giving up
