Convergence Test
In mathematics, convergence tests are methods of testing for the convergence, conditional convergence, absolute convergence, interval of convergence or divergence of an infinite series \sum_^\infty a_n. List of tests Limit of the summand If the limit of the summand is undefined or nonzero, that is \lim_a_n \ne 0, then the series must diverge. In this sense, the partial sums are Cauchy only if this limit exists and is equal to zero. The test is inconclusive if the limit of the summand is zero. This is also known as the nth-term test, test for divergence, or the divergence test. Ratio test This is also known as d'Alembert's criterion. : Consider two limits \ell=\liminf_\left, \frac\ and L=\limsup_\left, \frac\. If \ell>1, the series diverges. If L 1. The case of p = 1, k = 1 yields the harmonic series, which diverges. The case of p = 2, k = 1 is the Basel problem and the series converges to \frac. In general, for p > 1, k = 1, the series is equal to the Riemann zeta function ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |

Mathematics
Mathematics is a field of study that discovers and organizes methods, Mathematical theory, theories and theorems that are developed and Mathematical proof, proved for the needs of empirical sciences and mathematics itself. There are many areas of mathematics, which include number theory (the study of numbers), algebra (the study of formulas and related structures), geometry (the study of shapes and spaces that contain them), Mathematical analysis, analysis (the study of continuous changes), and set theory (presently used as a foundation for all mathematics). Mathematics involves the description and manipulation of mathematical object, abstract objects that consist of either abstraction (mathematics), abstractions from nature orin modern mathematicspurely abstract entities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. Mathematics uses pure reason to proof (mathematics), prove properties of objects, a ''proof'' consisting of a succession of applications of in ...
