Overview of chapter or Short notes of infinite series
1.
A sequence is a succession of numbers or terms formed according to some definite rule. The
nth term in a sequence is denoted by un.
For example, if un = 2n + 2
By giving different values of n in un, we get different terms of the sequence.
Thus, u1 = 4, u2 = 6.
A sequence having unlimited number of terms is known as an infinite sequence
2.
CONVERGENT SEQUENCE If the limit of a sequence is finite, the sequence is convergent. If the limit of a sequence does not tend to a finite number, the sequence is said to be divergent. e.g. 1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 . is a convergent sequence. 3, 5, 7, ..., (2n + 1), ... is a divergent sequence.
