Alternating Series - Absolute Convergence

Absolute Convergence

A series converges absolutely if the series converges.

Theorem: Absolutely convergent series are convergent.

Proof: Suppose is absolutely convergent. Then, is convergent and it follows that converges as well. Since, the series converges by the comparison test. Therefore, the series converges as the difference of two convergent series .
