Term
Def: Monotone Sequence
Definition
A seq is monotone if it is either
-increasing (xn\-strictly increasing (xn-decreasing (xn>/xn+1)
strictly decreasing (xn>xn+1)
Term
Thm: Monotone Convergence Theorem
Definition
If (xn) is monotone then (xn) is bounded iff (xn) converges.

If (xn) is increasing, bdd then (xn)->sup{xn}

If (xn) is decreasing, bdd then (xn) -> inf{xn}
Term
Def: Subsequence
Definition
Let xn be a seq. A subseq yn is one of the form
yn=xi(n) where i:N->N is strictly increasing

Can be used in problems where we've shown xn is bdd and monotone but need to find lim. yn=xn+1 and limyn=limxn
Term

Definition
If xn->x and yn is a subsequence, then yn->x
Term
Divergence Test
Definition
If (yn) and (zn) are subsequences of (xn) and yn->y, zn->z and y=/=z, then (xn) diverges

Term
Thm: Cauchy and Convergence
Definition
(Xn) is Cauchy iff (Xn) converges
Term
Def: Series
Definition
A series is the sequence of partial sums.
S1=X1
S2=X1+X2=S1+X2
S3=X1+X2+X3=S2+X3
Sn=Sn-1+Xn = EXk
Term
Geometric Series
Definition
Let r be in R.
Xn=r^n
Sn=1+r+r^2+... = [1-r^(n+1)]/[1-r]

If |r|<1 then r^n->0 so series converges to 1/(1-r)

If |r|>1 then r^n diverges

If r=-1 then (Sn) is (1,0,1,0,1,...) diverges

r=/=1
Term
Thm: Divergence Test
Definition
If EXn converges then Xn->0
If Xn-/->0 then EXn diverges

Note: Can't use this to show a series converges
Term

p=1 is Harmonic Series (diverges)
p>1 converges
p<1 diverges

Definition
Let 0\Then
1)If EYn conv, then EXn does too
2)If EXn diverges, then EYn does too
Term
Thm: Limit Comparison
Definition
Let Xn,Yn>0 for all n.
Assume lim(Xn/Yn) exists, equal to r.
If
1) r=/=0, EXn, EYn behave the same
2) r=0, if EYn converges, so does EXn

Easy to fix this to make it continous....
