- 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…
- 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.
- 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.
- Infinite Series | Necessary Condition & P-Series Test - GP Sir (Video) — Explains the necessary (but not sufficient) condition for convergence and then derives the p-test, showing exactly when sum 1/n^p converges. Watch this before any other test.
- Wikipedia - Convergence tests (Article) — One-page summary table of all convergence tests including p-test, ratio, root, Raabe, Gauss and logarithmic. Useful as a last-minute formula sheet to revise all conditions together.
