Andrew 🧮Hey mastodon, care to help me with a #math problem? I've tried 2 different tests for series convergence, and my sense is that what I'm looking at diverges, but WolframAlpha disagrees... #calculus #maths
Thinking about this a bit this morning. When running through the ratio test, I got a result that suggested something wrong. I think I eventually came to the right answer, but what if I hadn't checked WolframAlpha?
Maybe I did some improper algebra, and got an incorrect conclusion? I guess I just would want different tests to be consistent (unless they fail). #math #maths #calculus
