What is Integral test: Definition and 54 Discussions

In mathematics, the integral test for convergence is a method used to test infinite series of monotonous terms for convergence. It was developed by Colin Maclaurin and Augustin-Louis Cauchy and is sometimes known as the Maclaurin–Cauchy test.

    Integral test, basic comparsion test, limit comparsion test

    1) http://www.geocities.com/asdfasdf23135/calculus02.JPG This question comes from a section (infinite series) related to the integral test, basic comparsion test, and limit comparsion test, so I believe that I have to use one of them. However, I seriously have no idea how to prove this...can...

    How can I set proper limits for a double integral?

    *This was accidently posted in the 'Calculus & Analysis' section. Moderators can delete that one. Sorry.* I took a test today. I wanted to know if I set my limits up correctly and got the right answer, because I've been having problems with that. Okay, here is the question: A space is...

    How can I improve my limit-setting skills for double integrals?

    I took a test today. I wanted to know if I set my limits up correctly and got the right answer, because I've been having problems with that. Okay, here is the question: A space is bounded by x = 0, y = 0, xy-plane, and the plane: 3x + 2y + z = 6. Find the volume using a double integral...

    Integral Test for \sum^{\infty}_{n=2} \frac{1}{n(ln\;n)^{2}} - 0.01

    How many terms of the series \sum^{\infty}_{n=2} \frac{1}{n(ln\;n)^{2}} would you need to add to find its sum to within 0.01? Here's what i got: let f(n) = \frac{1}{n(ln\;n)^{2}} . Since f(n) is continuous, positive and decreasing for all n over the interval [2,\infty] , we can use...
