    The integral test helps us determine a series convergence by comparing it to an improper integral, which is something we already know how to find. Learn how it works in this video.

    This is great proof of the theorem! The idea of an underestimate of an area is brilliant! Thank you Sal!

    Could you do a video on analysis of the Riemann Zeta function? The sum here is after all a particular zeta value.

    The integral should be from 2 to infinity right? since you included the value for n=1 already

      nah, look at the graph and what you're finding is an overestimate. I know you're probably confused by the n=2, but the n=1 accounts for the square with area 1 units^2 while the n=2 and so forth account for the rest of the rectangular areas (1/4, 1/9, 1/16)
      Essentially, if you were to do 2 to infinity for the integral, it would no longer be a proper overestimate. The overestimate is used to create an upperbound and let you realise that it does not diverge (go to positive infinity) as the series has to be strictly less than 2.

    Why did you use the right hand riemann sum here, but for the diverging series, you used the left riemann sum?

  • @ozzyfromspace

    You're awesome bro! Just thinking: if the integral is an overestimate, is it possible for a series to be bounded even if the integral on the appropriate domain isn't? Because there is a difference between the curve and the discrete distribution. Isn't this approach assuming that the difference in the domain is finite? I'm not a math person, maybe I'm just thinking too hard. An answer would greatly be appreciated!

      If you are talking about the curve, I do not think the integral is an overestimate. In this case it is an overestimate in relation to the series being represented. Therefore if the integral + a1 converges then the corresponding series must also converge. The integral without adding in a1 will be an underestimate and therefore if it diverges then the series will also diverge.
