3 Convergence of infinite sums
In this chapter, we investigate which infinite sums, as opposed to sequences,
converge. We would like to say 1 +
1
2
+
1
4
+
1
8
+
···
= 2, while 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 +
···
does not converge. The majority of the chapter is coming up with different tests
to figure out if infinite sums converge.
