Infinite sequences and series
Series are sums of multiple terms. Infinite series are sums of an infinite number of terms. Don't all infinite series grow to infinity? It turns out the answer is no. Some infinite series converge to a finite value. Learn how this is possible and how we can tell whether a series converges and to what value. We will also learn about Taylor and Maclaurin series, which are series that act as functions and converge to common functions like sin(x) or eˣ.
This course contains 16 segments:
Defining convergent and divergent infinite series

Optional videos
Some things are not explicitly required by the AP Calculus BC course, but many teachers cover them and we also find them useful. We've gathered those optional videos here for your convenience.
