Calculus and Differential Equations II MATH 250 B Sequences and series Sequences and series Calculus and Differential Equations II Sequences A sequence is an infinite list of numbers, s1; s2;:::; sn;::: , indexed by integers. 1n Example 1: Find the first five terms of s = (−1)n , n 3 n ≥ 1. Example 2: Find a formula for sn, n ≥ 1, given that its first five terms are 0; 2; 6; 14; 30. Some sequences are defined recursively. For instance, sn = 2 sn−1 + 3, n > 1, with s1 = 1. If lim sn = L, where L is a number, we say that the sequence n!1 (sn) converges to L. If such a limit does not exist or if L = ±∞, one says that the sequence diverges.

Topic 7 Notes 7 Taylor and Laurent Series
Topic 7 Notes Jeremy Orloff 7 Taylor and Laurent series 7.1 Introduction We originally defined an analytic function as one where the derivative, defined as a limit of ratios, existed. We went on to prove Cauchy's theorem and Cauchy's integral formula. These revealed some deep properties of analytic functions, e.g. the existence of derivatives of all orders. Our goal in this topic is to express analytic functions as infinite power series. This will lead us to Taylor series. When a complex function has an isolated singularity at a point we will replace Taylor series by Laurent series. Not surprisingly we will derive these series from Cauchy's integral formula. Although we come to power series representations after exploring other properties of analytic functions, they will be one of our main tools in understanding and computing with analytic functions. 7.2 Geometric series Having a detailed understanding of geometric series will enable us to use Cauchy's integral formula to understand power series representations of analytic functions. We start with the definition: Definition. A finite geometric series has one of the following (all equivalent) forms. 2 3 n Sn = a(1 + r + r + r + ::: + r ) = a + ar + ar2 + ar3 + ::: + arn n X = arj j=0 n X = a rj j=0 The number r is called the ratio of the geometric series because it is the ratio of consecutive terms of the series. Theorem. The sum of a finite geometric series is given by a(1 − rn+1) S = a(1 + r + r2 + r3 + ::: + rn) = : (1) n 1 − r Proof.

3.3 Convergence Tests for Infinite Series
3.3 Convergence Tests for Infinite Series 3.3.1 The integral test We may plot the sequence an in the Cartesian plane, with independent variable n and dependent variable a: n X The sum an can then be represented geometrically as the area of a collection of rectangles with n=1 height an and width 1. This geometric viewpoint suggests that we compare this sum to an integral. If an can be represented as a continuous function of n, for real numbers n, not just integers, and if the m X sequence an is decreasing, then an looks a bit like area under the curve a = a(n). n=1 In particular, m m+2 X Z m+1 X an > an dn > an n=1 n=1 n=2 For example, let us examine the first 10 terms of the harmonic series 10 X 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 = 1 + + + + + + + + + : n 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 1 1 If we draw the curve y = x (or a = n ) we see that 10 11 10 X 1 Z 11 dx X 1 X 1 1 > > = − 1 + : n x n n 11 1 1 2 1 (See Figure 1, copied from Wikipedia) Z 11 dx Now = ln(11) − ln(1) = ln(11) so 1 x 10 X 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 = 1 + + + + + + + + + > ln(11) n 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 and 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 + + + + + + + + + < ln(11) + (1 − ): 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Z dx So we may bound our series, above and below, with some version of the integral : x If we allow the sum to turn into an infinite series, we turn the integral into an improper integral.

On a Series of Goldbach and Euler LluÍs Bibiloni, PelegrÍ Viader, and Jaume ParadÍs
On a Series of Goldbach and Euler Llu´ıs Bibiloni, Pelegr´ı Viader, and Jaume Parad´ıs 1. INTRODUCTION. Euler’s paper Variae observationes circa series infinitas [6] ought to be considered important for several reasons. It contains the first printed ver- sion of Euler’s product for the Riemann zeta-function; it definitely establishes the use of the symbol π to denote the perimeter of the circle of diameter one; and it introduces a legion of interesting infinite products and series. The first of these is Theorem 1, which Euler says was communicated to him and proved by Goldbach in a letter (now lost): 1 = 1. n − m,n≥2 m 1 (One must avoid repetitions in this sum.) We refer to this result as the “Goldbach-Euler Theorem.” Goldbach and Euler’s proof is a typical example of what some historians consider a misuse of divergent series, for it starts by assigning a “value” to the harmonic series 1/n and proceeds by manipulating it by substraction and replacement of other series until the desired result is reached. This unchecked use of divergent series to obtain valid results was a standard procedure in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. It has provoked quite a lot of criticism, correction, and, why not, praise of the audacity of the mathematicians of the time. They were led by Euler, the “Master of Us All,” as Laplace christened him. We present the original proof of the Goldbach- Euler theorem in section 2. Euler was obviously familiar with other instances of proofs that used divergent se- ries.

Series, Cont'd
Jim Lambers MAT 169 Fall Semester 2009-10 Lecture 5 Notes These notes correspond to Section 8.2 in the text. Series, cont'd In the previous lecture, we defined the concept of an infinite series, and what it means for a series to converge to a finite sum, or to diverge. We also worked with one particular type of series, a geometric series, for which it is particularly easy to determine whether it converges, and to compute its limit when it does exist. Now, we consider other types of series and investigate their behavior. Telescoping Series Consider the series 1 X 1 1 − : n n + 1 n=1 If we write out the first few terms, we obtain 1 X 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 − = 1 − + − + − + − + ··· n n + 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 n=1 1 1 1 1 1 1 = 1 + − + − + − + ··· 2 2 3 3 4 4 = 1: We see that nearly all of the fractions cancel one another, revealing the limit. This is an example of a telescoping series. It turns out that many series have this property, even though it is not immediately obvious. Example The series 1 X 1 n(n + 2) n=1 is also a telescoping series. To see this, we compute the partial fraction decomposition of each term. This decomposition has the form 1 A B = + : n(n + 2) n n + 2 1 To compute A and B, we multipy both sides by the common denominator n(n + 2) and obtain 1 = A(n + 2) + Bn: Substituting n = 0 yields A = 1=2, and substituting n = −2 yields B = −1=2.

Series: Convergence and Divergence Comparison Tests
Series: Convergence and Divergence Here is a compilation of what we have done so far (up to the end of October) in terms of convergence and divergence. • Series that we know about: P∞ n Geometric Series: A geometric series is a series of the form n=0 ar . The series converges if |r| < 1 and 1 a1 diverges otherwise . If |r| < 1, the sum of the entire series is 1−r where a is the ﬁrst term of the series and r is the common ratio. P∞ 1 2 p-Series Test: The series n=1 np converges if p1 and diverges otherwise . P∞ • Nth Term Test for Divergence: If limn→∞ an 6= 0, then the series n=1 an diverges. Note: If limn→∞ an = 0 we know nothing. It is possible that the series converges but it is possible that the series diverges. Comparison Tests: P∞ • Direct Comparison Test: If a series n=1 an has all positive terms, and all of its terms are eventually bigger than those in a series that is known to be divergent, then it is also divergent. The reverse is also true–if all the terms are eventually smaller than those of some convergent series, then the series is convergent. P P P That is, if an, bn and cn are all series with positive terms and an ≤ bn ≤ cn for all n suﬃciently large, then P P if cn converges, then bn does as well P P if an diverges, then bn does as well. (This is a good test to use with rational functions.

How is it changing? • the area enclosed as you move from the first iteration to the fourth iteration? How is it changing? What changes would you expect in the fifth iteration? How would you measure the perimeter at the fifth iteration if the original triangle had sides of 1 m in length? If this process continues forever, how can an infinite perimeter enclose a finite area?

LONGMAN Department of Geophysics and Planetary Sciences, Tel Aviv University, Ramat Aviv, Israel Received 27 July 1984 Abstract: The well-known correspondence of a power series with a certain Stieltjes integral is exploited for summation of the series by numerical integration. The emphasis in this paper is thus on actual summation of series. rather than mere acceleration of convergence. It is assumed that the coefficients of the series are given analytically, and then the numerator of the integrand is determined by the aid of the inverse of the two-sided Laplace transform, while the denominator is standard (and known) for all power series. Since Fourier series can be expressed in terms of power series, the method is applicable also to them. The treatment is extended to divergent series, and a fair number of numerical examples are given, in order to illustrate various techniques for the numerical evaluation of the resulting integrals. Keywork Summation of series. 1. Introduction We start by considering a power series, which it is convenient to write in the form s(x)=/.Q-~2x+&x2..., (1) for reasons which will become apparent presently. Here there is no intention to limit ourselves to alternating series since, even if the pLkare all of one sign, x may take negative and even complex values. It will be assumed in this paper that the pLk are real.

Six Ways to Sum a Series Dan Kalman
Six Ways to Sum a Series Dan Kalman The College Mathematics Journal, November 1993, Volume 24, Number 5, pp. 402–421. Dan Kalman This fall I have joined the mathematics faculty at American University, Washington D. C. Prior to that I spent 8 years at the Aerospace Corporation in Los Angeles, where I worked on simulations of space systems and kept in touch with mathematics through the programs and publications of the MAA. At a national meeting I heard the presentation by Zagier referred to in the article. Convinced that this ingenious proof should be more widely known, I presented it at a meeting of the Southern California MAA section. Some enthusiastic members of the audience then shared their favorite proofs and references with me. These led to more articles and proofs, and brought me into contact with a realm of mathematics I never guessed existed. This paper is the result. he concept of an infinite sum is mysterious and intriguing. How can you add up an infinite number of terms? Yet, in some contexts, we are led to the Tcontemplation of an infinite sum quite naturally. For example, consider the calculation of a decimal expansion for 1y3. The long division algorithm generates an endlessly repeating sequence of steps, each of which adds one more 3 to the decimal expansion. We imagine the answer therefore to be an endless string of 3’s, which we write 0.333. .. In essence we are defining the decimal expansion of 1y3 as an infinite sum 1y3 5 0.3 1 0.03 1 0.003 1 0.0003 1 .
