Assignment 1

This document contains 18 problems related to series and sequences. The problems cover topics like limits, convergence tests, examples of convergent and divergent series, integrals, and properties of convergent series. Some key problems include proving certain series converge or diverge based on the behavior of their terms, finding examples of series where the terms diverge but the series converges, evaluating specific integrals and series, and determining conditions for the convergence of series with terms involving logarithms, factorials, or sequences.
