Section 11.1: Infinite Sequences

Introductory video with strategies for finding limits. NOTE: there's an error at about the 8 minute mark and I don't want to re-record the whole video! The last term listed in the Fibonacci sequence is incorrect. It should be 21, not 22. Sorry!

Sequences of the form $LaTeX: \lbrace r^n\rbrace$

Definitions: increasing, decreasing, monotonic, bounded... plus a theorem and an example!

Section 11.2: Infinite Series

Introduction to infinite series

Geometric series - explanation, theory, and an example

Telescoping series: one example

Section 11.3: The Integral Test

Introduction to the Integral Test, "p-series", and one challenging example

This video explains WHY the integral test works

Section 11.4: The Comparison Tests

Introduction to the DIRECT comparison test. Note: the inequalities involving $a_{n}$ $a$ n and $b_{n}$ $b$ n do NOT need to be "strict" - they should technically be $\leq$ $\leq$ and $\geq$ $\geq$ .

Introduction to the LIMIT comparison test

This video shows how to sneaky direct comparison problem involving n!.
