Convergence & divergence of telescoping series - Sequence and Series
Convergence & divergence of telescoping series
In this lesson, we will learn about the convergence and divergence of telescoping series. There is no exact formula to see if the infinite series is a telescoping series, but it is very noticeable if you start to see terms cancel out. Most telescopic series problems involve using the partial fraction decomposition before expanding it and seeing terms cancel out, so make sure you know that very well before tackling these questions.
Basic concepts:
- Partial fraction decomposition
- Introduction to infinite series
