- Infinite Series 2.0 - Dr. Gajendra Purohit (GP Sir) (Video) — Complete updated lecture series on infinite series. Starts from the meaning of a sequence, partial sums and the necessary condition for convergence, then covers every standard test one by one. Best s…
- Paul's Online Math Notes - Series & Sequences chapter (Article) — Clean written notes with proofs and worked examples for the entire series chapter. Every test has its own page linked from here. Great for revision when you don't want to watch a video.
- Paul's Online Math Notes - Strategy for Series (Article) — A decision checklist for choosing the right test just by looking at the form of the general term. Read this once before the exam - it saves a lot of time in the paper.
- Infinite Series (Convergence & Divergence) - GP Sir (Video) — Older but very complete playlist on the same chapter with many extra solved numericals. Use this as a second pass or for extra practice problems before the exam.
- Wikipedia - Convergence tests (Article) — Reference summary of the standard tests used to decide whether a series of positive terms converges or diverges, including the ratio, root and comparison tests.
