Series In Calculus Math
We will discuss if a series will converge or diverge including many of the tests that can be used to determine if a.
Series in calculus math. This is actually a vast and fascinating world. By now you should be familiar with several kinds of series like arithmetic or geometric series. We will then define just what an infinite series is and discuss many of the basic concepts involved with series. We will call i 1ai i 1 a i an infinite series and note that the series starts at i 1 i 1 because that is where our original sequence an n 1 a n n 1 started.
Riemann sums are also series. S n lim n. Select the second example from the drop down menu showing the geometric sequence sn s1rn 1. Lim n sn lim n n i 1ai i 1ai lim n.
In this chapter we introduce sequences and series. We discuss whether a sequence converges or diverges is increasing or decreasing or if the sequence is bounded. Sorry the world of series. On this applet the sequence is shown as rectangles of width 1 somewhat reminiscent of a riemann.
