Evaluate this series: Sum from k = 1 to k = infinity k^2/k!
The answer is 2e.
Thanks so much!

Evaluating a series allows us to determine whether the series converges or diverges. This information is important in many areas of science, such as calculus and statistics, where series are used to model real-world phenomena.
The process of evaluating a series involves finding the limit of the sequence of partial sums. This can be done using various methods, such as the ratio test or the integral test.
If a series converges, it means that the sequence of partial sums approaches a finite value as the number of terms increases. In other words, the series has a finite sum and is considered "convergent".
If a series diverges, it means that the sequence of partial sums does not approach a finite value as the number of terms increases. In other words, the series does not have a finite sum and is considered "divergent".
Knowing whether a series converges or diverges is important in many applications, such as calculating probabilities, approximating functions, and solving differential equations. It also allows us to identify patterns and relationships in data and make predictions based on those patterns.
