Power Series - Radius & Interval of Convergence | Calculus 2 Lesson 31 - JK Math

How to Find the Radius & Interval of Convergence for Power Series (Calculus 2 Lesson 31)
In this video we learn about Power Series and how to find their radius and interval of convergence. A power series is a type of series that includes a variable, such as x, raised to a power of n. Because of this included variable, the terms of a power series form a function. This function is only defined for the values of x that make the power series convergent. In order to find these values of x that make the power series convergent (interval of convergence), we will use many of the convergence tests and skills related to series that have been covered up to this point. We discuss how this is will be done, and go over a couple examples explaining and showing the process in action.

This video series is designed to help students understand the concepts of Calculus 2 at a grounded level. No long, boring, and unnecessary explanations, just what you need to know at a reasonable and digestible pace, with the goal of each video being shorter than the average school lecture!
Calculus 2 requires a solid understanding of calculus 1, precalculus, and algebra concepts and techniques. This includes limits, differentiation, basic integration, factoring, equation manipulation, trigonometric functions, logarithms, graphing, and much more. If you are not familiar with these prerequisite topics, be sure to learn them first!

I love your channel thank you and god bless you

[@aary8716]

Your videos are boon for math majors. Please continue to do such work. Wish we had you as our math professor. Could you plz upload content regarding Abstract Algebra too

[@JKMath]

Thank you! I really appreciate the kind feedback. Plenty more videos to come, and Abstract Algebra is definitely in my roadmap for the future!

[@tamakloemartin5586]

Your videos are the best

[@JKMath]

Thank you! I’m glad you find them to be helpful :)

[@bobtivnan]

Wow, this is one of your longest videos.

[@JKMath]

Yeah, due to the length and amount of steps involved with power series problems, this video is a bit longer than what I typically aim for. But I believe it should be helpful for fully understanding the concepts at hand 👍
