Calculus Series Convergence Guide

This document contains 30 problems about determining whether infinite series converge or diverge. Specifically, it asks students to: 1) Explain the difference between an infinite sequence and an infinite series, and what it means for a series to converge. 2) Solve some examples to determine if common series, like harmonic series or exponential series, converge or diverge. 3) Determine if other series involving factors like powers, logarithms, factorials, and trigonometric functions converge. Students are asked to show their work.
