A Series Convergence Test:The nth-Term Testalso calledThe Divergence Test MAT 146
Series Convergence or Divergence We have defined sequences and series and have considered a few particular series—geometric series, harmonic series, telescoping sums—and explored the convergence/divergence of these series. Our first test related to this is • The Divergence Test also known as The nth-Term Test: If the sequence of terms that comprise an infinite series DO NOT have a limit of 0, then the series DOES NOT converge. The series diverges. We now turn our attention more fully to the fate of infinite series. What strategies do we have for determining whether an infinite series converges or diverges? MAT 146
