Infinite series

This book offers an elementary introduction to infinite series, tests for convergence and divergence of series, binomial series, and the use of series to represent the sine, cosine, and logarithmic functions. Many examples and applications are presented, and historical notes illustrate the development of the theory of infinite series by Newton, Euler, Cauchy, and others. The reader should have a knowledge of high school algebra and trigonometry. --Back cover.
