Science:Infinite Series Module/Units/Unit 1/1.1 Infinite Sequences
What This Lesson Covers
In this lesson we introduce
- the definition of convergence of an infinite sequence
- various theorems on limits of infinite sequences, including
- the theorem relating between the limit of a function and a limit of a sequence
- the limit laws for infinite sequences
- the squeeze theorem for infinite sequences
- the theorem on the limit of the absolute value of a sequence
Learning Outcomes
After reading this lesson and completing a sufficient number of problems, students should be able to
- determine whether an infinite sequence converges using the theorems presented in this lesson
Simply reading the content in this lesson will not be sufficient. Students will need to get out a pencil and paper and complete problems in order to prepare themselves for assessments related to this lesson.
