Series Details
About
We'll cover the entire unit on infinite sequences and series in Khan Academy's AP Calc BC. Every session will involve going over lots of examples together and giving you all opportunities to practice and ask questions! Basic knowledge of sequences and calculus (derivatives & integrals) is helpful, but not entirely necessary.
✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY
No strict attendance policy. I hope you can attend as many sessions as possible, though, and there is a possibility that it would be difficult to follow along with later sessions if you miss a session.

Session 1
Infinite sequences and series
We'll introduce sequences and series, what convergence and divergence mean, and some basics of how to determine if a series converges or diverges. We'll also cover arithmetic vs. geometric sequences, and partial sums.

Session 5
Infinite sequences and series
We'll go over error bands for series: alternating series error bands, and Lagrange error bands. We'll also cover how to find the radius/interval of convergence for a power series.

Session 6
Infinite sequences and series
Optional review/office hours session. I'll answer any questions about any topic within my series about sequences and series, and I can go over any topics that we don't end up having time to cover throughout the sessions.

Session 7
Infinite sequences and series
I'll continue going on Taylor series and error bounds, the topics I didn't have time to get to in the series so far. Feel free to bring questions or anything you'd like to go over!

I'll continue going on Taylor series and error bounds, the topics I didn't have time to get to in the series so far. Feel free to bring questions or anything you'd like to go over! I might add more sessions to this series after this one if we don't finish everything in the Khan Academy unit in this session.
