Department of Mathematics Birla Institute of Technology Mesra, Ranchi Assignment - 1 (Module I)

The document contains 13 questions related to analyzing sequences and series for convergence. Questions ask students to determine if sequences are monotonic, bounded, and convergent. They are also asked to apply various tests for convergence of infinite series including comparison, ratio, root, integral, alternating series, and absolute/conditional convergence tests.
