Study Notes

Chapter 6: Series and Convergence

(6.1) Infinite Sums
- Infinite sums are considered, with truncation to examine if the limit exists; it has a finite value.
- A series converges if the limit of the partial sums exists.
- A series diverges if the limit of the partial sums does not exist or is infinite.
- Examples: infinite sums can oscillate (e.g., alternating series) without converging to a finite value.
(6.2) More Definitions and Theorems
- An infinite series is absolutely convergent if the series of the absolute values of its terms converges. Convergence of absolute values implies convergence.
- A series is conditionally convergent if it converges but the series of absolute values diverges.
- Examples: Geometric series discussed in relation to convergence conditions. Divergence of harmonic series demonstrates a series converging absolutely can not be generalized.
(6.3) Convergence Tests
- Necessary Condition: A necessary but not sufficient condition for a series to converge is that the limit of the terms approaches zero as n goes to infinity. If the limit is not zero, the series diverges. If the limit is zero, this does not imply the series converges (it may still diverge).
- Comparison Test: Comparing terms of a given series with the terms of a known convergent/divergent series to determine if a series converges or diverges.
- Alternating Series Test (Leibniz Test): A specific test for alternating series that have terms that decrease in magnitude and alternate signs. Conditions for convergence: terms are decreasing, and the last term approaches zero.
- Example: Tests applied to series with cosine and sine functions show divergence or convergence.
(6.4) Radius of Convergence of Taylor/Maclaurin Series
- The ratio test is used to determine the range of values of x (radius of convergence) for which the Taylor/Maclaurin series converges.
- The ratio test helps determine the range (interval of convergence) where the series converges.
- Examples given of series convergent on certain limited values.
(6.5) The Mysterious Zeta Function
- Riemann zeta function, a very significant function in mathematics.
- Zeta function can converge under a certain condition (Re(s) > 1).
- The zeta function at s=1 (harmonic series) diverges.
- Zeta function at other values discussed, with implications for the distribution of prime numbers, statistical mechanics, and quantum chaos.
