Absolute vs. Conditional Convergence

This section is not about calculation, but rather about the logic.

▶Refer to Khan academy: Conditional & absolute convergence

▶ Back to previous note on: p-series test ▶ Practice at Khan academy: determine-absolute-or-conditional-convergence

▼We can have a series in Given form and Absolute form:

We call the series:

• Absolute Convergent: if the series converges in BOTH Given form & Absolute form.

• Conditional Convergent: if the series converges ONLY in Given form BUT NOT in Absolute Form.

etc.,
