1. This document contains 13 math problems assessing convergence of series. The problems cover tests like the limit comparison test, integral test, Leibniz test, and determining absolute vs conditional convergence. 2. The series are evaluated using various tests to determine if they converge absolutely, conditionally, or diverge. Examples include checking convergence of harmonic series, p-series, and alternating series. 3. Tests covered include the limit comparison test, integral test, Leibniz test, and determining absolute vs conditional convergence to evaluate series for convergence.
