1. This document provides notes and examples for week 12 of a math class covering series. It reviews concepts from the previous week and provides examples of determining if series converge or diverge.
2. The document introduces alternating series and explains conditions for an alternating series to converge. It distinguishes between absolute and conditional convergence for alternating series.
3. Examples are provided to illustrate determining if series converge absolutely, conditionally, or diverge. The document also discusses using partial sums to approximate the sum of a series and calculate the error.

An 802"6482:47 /"6:"/ is a seiies whose teims alteinate in sign. Foi example:
-02"6482:47 ;"6:"/ <"/2= If an alteinating seiies ( ) ( ) 1 1 2 3 4 1 1 , 0 n n n n a a a a a a ! " = " = " + " + > # ! satisfies (!) 1 n n a a + ! foi all " (non incieasing) ANB (!!) lim 0 n n a !" = then the seiies is conveigent.
Examples: 1. ( ) ! " " 1 1 2 n n
2. ( ) 1 3 1 1 1 3 n n n n + ! = " + + #
S. ( ) 1 n ! "
If an alteinating seiies conveiges, it can be classifieu as eithei absolutely conveigent oi conuitionally conveigent.
If the seiies ! n a is conveigent, then ! n a is conveigent. We say that ! n a is 8./%012"0> #%45"67"42.
If the seiies ! n a is conveigent anu the seiies ! n a is uiveigent, we say that ! n a is #%49:2:%4800> #%45"67"42.
Examples: 1. ( ) ! " " 1 1 2 n n
2. 2 sin( ) k k k ! "
3. ( ) 2 1 1 n n n ! ! "
4. ( ) ( ) 1 1 k k k ! + ! "
If a convergent alternating series satisfies the condition 0 < a n+1 < a n , then the remainder R N involved in approximating the sum S by S N is less in magnitude than the first neglected (truncated) term. That is, 1 N N N R S S a + = ! "
Examples: 1. Appioximate the sum of ( ) 1 1 1 1 ! n n n ! + = " # $ % & ' ( ) by its fiist six teims anu finu the eiioi.
