Mathematical Concepts
Alternating Series
Error Bound
Series Convergence
Formulas
Sum of the first 3 terms: S_3 = a_1 + a_2 + a_3
Error bound after n terms: Error ≤ |a_(n+1)|
Theorems
Alternating Series Test: Ensures the convergence of alternating series if the terms decrease in magnitude and tend to zero.
Error Bound for Alternating Series: The error in approximating the sum is less than or equal to the magnitude of the first omitted term.
Suitable Grade Level
Undergraduate (Calculus II or Series and Sequences topic)
