Limit comparison test

In mathematics, the limit comparison test (LCT) (in contrast with the related direct comparison test) is a method of testing for the convergence of an infinite series. (Wikipedia).

Choosing Which Convergence Test to Apply to 8 Series

Deciding which convergence test to apply to a given series is often the hardest part of the unit on series convergence. In this video, I'm going to loosely walk through some larger strategies for picking and choosing the method, focusing on 8 different series and 8 different methods: Geome

Limit Comparison Test

This calculus 2 video tutorial provides a basic introduction into the limit comparison test. It explains how to determine if two series will either both converge or diverge by taking the limit of the ratio of the two sequences to see if it equals a positive finite number. Examples and pr
