Convergence and divergence of normal infinite series
In this section, we will take a look at normal infinite series that can be converted into partial sums. We will start by learning how to convert the series into a partial sum, and then take the limit. If we take the limit as n goes to infinity, then we can determine if the series is converging or diverging. Note that not all series can be turned into a partial sum. In that case, you would have to use other methods to see if the infinite series is convergent or divergent.
