l Here is a short review of umerical series which you may fid helpful. REVIEW OF NUMERICAL SERIES SEQUENCES A sequece is a list of real umbers. It is called coverget if it has a limit. A icreasig sequece has a limit whe it has a upper boud. SERIES (Geometric series,ratioal umbers as decimals, harmoic series,divergece test) Give umbers formig a sequece a a! let us defie the th partial sum as sum of the first of them s a a! The SERIES is coverget if the SEQUENCE s s s 3 is.! I other words it coverges if the partial sums of the series approach a limit. A ecessary coditio for the covergece of this SERIES is that a s have limit 0. If this fails, the series The harmoic series +(/)+(/3)+... This illustrates that the terms a havig limit zero does ot guaratee the covergece of a series. A series with positive terms,i.e. a 0 for all, coverges exactly whe its partial sums have a upper boud. The geometric series r coverges exactly whe r INTEGRAL AND COMPARISON TESTS (Itegral test,p-series, compariso tests for covergece ad divergece, limit compariso test) Itegral test: Suppose f x is positive ad DECREASING for all large eough x. The the followig are equivalet: I. S. f x dx is fiite, i.e. coverges. f is fiite, i.e. coverges. This gives the p - test: coverges exactly whe p p Compariso test: Suppose there is a fixed umber K such that for all sufficietly large : 0 a Kb Covergece. If b coverges the so does a Divergece. If a diverges the so does (Positive series havig smaller terms are more likely to coverge.) Limit compariso test: SUPPOSE: a 0, b 0 ad a lim " b THEN R exists. Moreover, R is ot zero. a ad b both coverge or both diverge. OTHER CONVERGENCE TESTS FOR SERIES (Alteratig series test, absolute covergece, RATIO TEST) Alteratig series test: Suppose the sequece a a a 3 is decreasig ad has limit zero. The a coverges. This applies to ()-(/)+(/3)-(/4)+... Absolute Covergece Test: IF THEN Ratio test: SUPPOSE # a IF r IF r the the a coverges. a # has limit equal to r. a CONVERGES. a DIVERGES. a coverges, # # b. $ Prepared by the WeBWorK group, Dept. of Mathematics, Uiversity of Rochester, c UR
