Explanation of when to use different tests for convergence of an infinite series. This process will get us through most simple infinite series!
There are two other common convergence tests that I didn't include in this video:
1. Root test - use when everything is raised to the power of n
2. Absolute convergence test - use when dealing with series that go from positive to negative but don't alternate, such as Σsin(n)/n².

  • Dumb question, the telescoping, cauchy and the rest are included in the basic category?

    @wolfsschanze7061@wolfsschanze70614 жыл бұрын
    • Telescoping is usually a method to find the exact value of a series rather than showing that it converges, so that's why I left it out. There are a few methods that I didn't mention which might have their own categories. My goal for this video was just to help students for a convergence test exam!

  • A bit of nitpicking, I think your tongue slipped at 13:06, it is a horizontal asymptote (but if someone is interested in series, that's something he/she already knows, maybe?) But a very nice video! I like your classification a lot!

  • My calc 2 professor barely helps me out and only helps me when i understand the material. Why does she have that job if she isnt going to help her students and the class isnt even engaging at all On a side note, you just explain it so better. You would make a great calc 2 professor

  • Thank you so much for the video, i have something i couldn't get in the weird serie of n2*3n/n! in the 9:10 minute, when i calculate the limit i found it 6, so it is supposed to be divergent, and i don't know what i exactly did wrong, can you please explain why is it convergent ?

    @linasourourdiabi1404@linasourourdiabi14043 жыл бұрын
    • If you do the ratio test on that series, you should find that the ratio between consecutive terms approaches 0 as n approaches infinity. By the ratio test, this means the original series converges because r < 1.

  • Dude, have you thought about bulking? you have a solid frame, you’d be muscular giga math chad if you think about it. You’d end up converging everything in life, please leave some for the rest of us.
