AI Thread Summary
The 2025 AAPT Summer Meeting will take place in Washington DC from August 2-6. Attendees are discussing their plans to participate, with one individual confirming attendance from August 3 to 6, possibly arriving on August 2 based on airfare. They will present two posters: one on "Force-vs-Position Diagrams to distinguish Conservative and Non-conservative forces" on Sunday evening, and another on "Velocity First, then Speed, Average-Velocity, and Average-Speed" on Monday late afternoon, which includes humor aimed at physics educators. There is also a mention of a Saturday Morning Physics talk by Sean Carroll on "The Many Worlds of Quantum Mechanics," which sparked a lighthearted comment regarding the accuracy of the PhysicsForums logo.

Thread 'How can we teach students the difference between sequences and series?'

Sequences and series are related concepts, but they differ extremely from one another. I believe that students in integral calculus often confuse them. Part of the problem is that: Sequences are usually taught only briefly before moving on to series. The definition of a series involves two related sequences (terms and partial sums). Both have operations that take in a sequence and output a number (the limit or the sum). Both have convergence tests for convergence (monotone convergence and...
