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 .

Famous quotes containing the word absolute:
“I tell you, hopeless grief is passionless;
That only men incredulous of despair,
Half-taught in anguish, through the midnight air
Beat upward to God’s throne in loud access
Of shrieking and reproach. Full desertness,
In souls as countries, lieth silent-bare
Under the blanching, vertical eye-glare
Of the absolute Heavens.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
