Define a sequence.

A function whose domain is the set of natural numbers.

Define a series.

The sum of the terms of a sequence.

What is a convergent sequence/series?

Terms approach a specific value (the limit).

What is a divergent sequence/series?

Terms do not approach a specific value; the sum is infinite.

Define an arithmetic sequence.

Sequence with a constant difference between consecutive terms.

Define a geometric sequence.

Sequence where each term is the previous term multiplied by a constant ratio.

Define a harmonic series.

Series where terms are reciprocals of positive integers.

Define a power series.

Series of the form an(xc)n\sum a_n(x-c)^n where ana_n are constants and cc is a constant.

Define an alternating series.

Series where the terms alternate in sign.

Define a Taylor series.

Representation of a function as an infinite sum of terms, with each term being a polynomial function of a single variable.

Define a Maclaurin series.

A Taylor series centered at 0.

What does the Alternating Series Test state?

If ana_n is decreasing and limnan=0\lim_{n \to \infty} a_n = 0, then the alternating series (1)nan\sum (-1)^n a_n converges.

What does the Ratio Test state?

If limnan+1an=L\lim_{n \to \infty} |\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}| = L, then the series converges if L<1L < 1, diverges if L>1L > 1, and is inconclusive if L=1L = 1.

What does the nth Term Test for Divergence state?

If limnan0\lim_{n \to \infty} a_n \neq 0, then the series an\sum a_n diverges.

What is the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence?

a+(n1)da + (n-1)d, where aa is the first term and dd is the common difference.

What is the formula for the nth term of a geometric sequence?

arn1a * r^{n-1}, where aa is the first term and rr is the common ratio.

What is the general form of a power series?

an(xc)n\sum a_n(x-c)^n

What is the Maclaurin series for exe^x?

n=0xnn!\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{x^n}{n!}

What is the Maclaurin series for sin(x)\sin(x)?

n=0(1)nx2n+1(2n+1)!\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^n x^{2n+1}}{(2n+1)!}

What is the Maclaurin series for cos(x)\cos(x)?

n=0(1)nx2n(2n)!\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^n x^{2n}}{(2n)!}

What is the formula for Lagrange Error Bound?

Rn(x)M(n+1)!xcn+1|R_n(x)| \leq \frac{M}{(n+1)!}|x-c|^{n+1}, where M is the maximum value of the (n+1)th derivative.

What is the formula for Alternating Series Error Bound?

Erroran+1|Error| \leq |a_{n+1}|, where an+1a_{n+1} is the (n+1)th term of the series.
