Talk:Comparison test
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"if an <= bn for all n, and suppose that sum (from n= 0 to infinty) bn is convergent. Then sum an is convergent."
(Craw, 2002)
Notice "for all n". Wiki says that "for sufficiently large n".
Also, please explain why comparing the ratios of a series to another known series is betten than comparing the ratio to 1, as in the d'Alembert test. I'm sure there must be a reason, but I can't figure it.
