Convergence and Divergence: The Return of Sequences and Series

[@emmaell123]

Your voice is so clear and stress-relievingly good to hear.

[@mathew_pang]

at 8:50 why that sum will be divergent ? i thought it will converge to 1/5?

[@IslamicLifestylevibess]

same here

[@Vinickw]

This is the limit of the sequence, not the series. It means that for a very big _n,_ the sequence will be approximately {...1/5, 1/5, 1/5...}, and adding infinitely many 1/5 will result in infinity.

[@random6033]

the sequence converges to 1/5 so the sum isn't finite EDIT: wait that comment is old

[@magiic3871]

Second reason I think is cause that rule where if r is less than 1 than it’s convergent doesn’t apply here cause this isn’t a geometric series.

[@mainulislam6765]

Professor Dave I just came across your video and I want to express my appreciation at the very clear presentation of the concepts; not only are the slides very clear, you speak with a certain clarity which is rare to come by in a mathematics tutorial. Thank you .

[@saeedahmed-9290]

I had a problem all during my semester in this concept.. but now it's so clear ! I can't thank u more man :)

PROFESSOR you explained it so beautifully. Thanks.

Just the type of explanation I was looking for. Perfectly explained.

[@supreethmv]

1:16 This seems like a divergent series but actually is convergent. There are some simple and complex proofs to show that 1+2+3+.....= -1/12. This is same as Riemann zeta function for -1.

This professor is good. I like this video

[@sachinrajpandey5242]

When the limit of a sequence is zero then the corresponding series will be convergent and when the limit of a sequence gives some constant value L then the sequence is convergent. Is this right? Please correct me.

[@nnofficial2414]

It was a good revision! Great job 👏

I don't get it because at the beginning he said that if it gets to a finite number it is convergent and in the end when he gets1/5 he said it is divergent ;-; please somebody help me

[@Attalla-t9b]

In the beginning, he was talking about sequence. At the end, he was talking about series (It seems like they have different criteria for divergence/convergence)

[@SurajSharma-pv3di]

It is a special case for a special type of function. You will get zero no. If you write this in your exam

[@scptime1188]

Only using analytic continuation on a different function (continued riemman zeta function) that is closely related to but not interchangeable with that sum. The function that gives you that sum (riemman zeta function) only works for inputs with a real part greatrr than one. The RZ function breaks when you get smaller than one. But if you "continue" the riemman zeta function throughout the complex plane (ensuring it is analytically continued), when you plug in (-1), which using the non-continued riemman zeta function (∑«n=1→∞» (1/n^s) for varying values of s) would blow up to infinity, you get (-1/12). So there is a sense in which the sum you get from the non continued RZ function, 1+2+3+4... also equals (-1/12).

I confused how lim of 1/2^n = 1 . I thought it should be 0. becz 1/inf = 0.

[@RickyRicheRebelle]

he just said in the video clearly that if a sequence converges to 0 as it approaches its infinite-th term, the series that the sequence generates would have a finite number limite. i think u're mixing up sequence and series, which is the first thing he stated in the video

[@wolframalpha8634]

The sum of all *n* natural numbers is a diverging series coz it doesn't approach any sensible value , try substituting as n→∞ in the formula n(n+1)/2 , -1/12 isn't the true sum coz this result can't be verified using the convergence and divergence test!
