Hey there..
Basically I'm struggling with convergence and divergence of series.
I can see if converges and diverges by common sense and thinking through in my head but I struggle to write it down. The definitions in books seem confusing.
Are there any steps I can systematically do every time which will help me determine on paper if the said series div. or conv.?
For example a basic typical question in my course is like the following:
as n ---> infinity
[itex]\sum[/itex] (n^2 - 1) / (n^4 + 1)
Some detailed exlanation in basic language would be greatly appreciated
Regards
Tam
