    Okay, I've been learning from your videos for the past year or so, never actually needed to make a youtube account, just made up one, was sure to subscribe to the best channel on youtube. I always make sure to watch the ads to it's entire length because YOU DESERVE THE ULTIMATE RESPECT! Great Work Patrick! I hope to meet you in person one day and thank you for all your hard work! You're a great man Patrick!

    @MustangGTR2 it gets used in differential equations, which is hugely important in physics, for example.

    @jvideogamer it is a geometric series; just rewrite so that it is all being raised to the n power, determine if the ratio is less than one (and greater than negative one)

  • @lkjadslkfjlaksj
    @lkjadslkfjlaksj 7 років тому +1

    For anyone that's interested, the most interesting fact about conditionally convergent series (and the reason why we care at all whether or not a series is absolutely convergent) is this:
    If a series is conditionally convergent, you can re-arrange the terms to make it converge to any number you wish.
    The series 1 - 1 + 1/2 - 1/2 + 1/3 - 1/3 + ... converges to 0, but we can make it converge to 1 instead by doing the following:
    (1) Add the positive terms until you get a number greater than 1
    (2) Subtract the negative terms until you get a number less than 1
    (3) Repeat (1) and (2) forever
    1 + 1/2 - 1 + 1/3 + 1/4 - 1/2 + 1/5 + 1/6 + 1/7 - 1/3 + 1/8 + 1/9 + 1/10 - 1/4 + ...
    This works because if the series is conditionally convergent then both the series consisting of the positive terms and the series consisting of the negative terms grow unbounded. So we never run out of positive and negative value to add. And the amount that we overshoot our target by each time converges to zero as the positive and negative terms converge to zero.

    @123Retry123 well, the ratio test uses absolute value so you are testing for absolute convergence at that point

  • @ticocr16
    @ticocr16 12 років тому +1

    At the beginning the problem, Patrick used the absolute value to determine whether the series converges absolutely. As you saw on the video, by the p-series test it diverges. However, he used the Alternating test to check for conditional convergence. According to the Alternating Test, you do not need the (-1)^n but rather the rest of the series which is referred as the Bn. For that reason he did not use it.

    one little piece of advice for you, just housekeeping, really, is to move the p-series videos BEFORE all the convergence tests, since you reference p-series before you explain them. it would clear a lot of things up for people like me watching this playlist from start to finish. :)
