why does the series 1/(nln(n)) diverge? I thought it converged since the limit goes to 0.

No, the SEQUENCE

[tex]\left\{ \frac{1}{n\ln n} \right\}[/tex]

converges because the limit of the terms go to 0.

However, the SERIES

[tex]\sum_{n=2}^\infty \frac{1}{n\ln n}[/tex]

diverges using the integral test.
 
For the series

[tex]\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n[/tex]

the condition that

[tex]\lim_{n\to\infty} a_n = 0[/tex]

is necessary for convergence, however it is not sufficient. That is, satisfying the limit condition is not enough to conclude that the series converges.
 
I see, so

1/n will diverge since p <= 1 and 1/nln(n) is smaller than that, so it will converge as well--is that a correct comparison test?
 
No, it's not. if an converges and bn< an then bn converges. If an diverges and bn> an then bn diverges. If an diverges and bn< an, you don't have any information as to whether bn converges or not.
As rs1n said, use the integral test.
