1.1 Introduction to infinite series’ We have introduced the concept of infinite series’ in our last modules. We have also briefly talked about the convergence of an infinite Geometric Series. The concept of convergence of a series is something that we have taken up in our advanced section of this module. To give an idea, here… Continue reading

A CMI Question
Q) We call a number as stable if there exists distinct natural numbers with such that . Show that if is stable, then so is . Hence, or otherwise find all stable numbers Solution: We assume that is stable. Thus there exists different natural numbers satisfying the given condition. We need to find distinct natural numbers… Continue reading

1.1 Introduction to Convergence We have introduced the concept of infinite series’ in our previous modules. Today in this module, we shallt alk about convergence of an infinite series. Convergence, in elementary terms define the fact that the sum of an infinite series is bounded. This would mean . In other words let’s define . If… Continue reading

1.1 Logarithms of Progressions and basic properties We define the natural logarithm of a postive number as . Logarithm of a negative number is not defined. Let’s recollect the basic properties of natural logarithms: Ex -1 If be 3 reals in GP, show that are in HP Solution: We have , which implies are in AP.… Continue reading

1.1 Introduction to Series & Sequences In Mathematical Analysis, a sequence is defined to be an ordered collection of terms/objects. This colelction or list can either be finite, or infinite. Thus we have both finite & infinite sequences. Often we define sequences by a recursive formula with some base conditions. Thus let’s consider with is… Continue reading
