Statement of The Test
Consider an integer N and a non-negative monotone decreasing function f defined on the unbounded interval [N, ∞). Then the series
converges if and only if the integral
is finite. In particular, if the integral diverges, then the series diverges as well.

Famous quotes containing the words statement of, statement and/or test:
“Truth is used to vitalize a statement rather than devitalize it. Truth implies more than a simple statement of fact. “I don’t have any whisky,” may be a fact but it is not a truth.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
“After the first powerful plain manifesto
The black statement of pistons, without more fuss
But gliding like a queen, she leaves the station.”
—Stephen Spender (1909–1995)
“To answer a question so as to admit of no reply, is the test of a man.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
