A series converges if it has a limit. That is, if the sum of all terms in the sequence, in exactly the given order, takes on exactly one finite value. To test the convergence of series, there is a fixed sequence of steps you can follow. You'll learn what these are in this video!

CORRECTION: 9:15 "It may be that the sequence of quotients |a_(k+1)/a_(k)| diverges because it has multiple cluster points, but the series still converges." This does NOT refer to the sequence a_(k), as that would contradict the necessary criterion from step 2. Thanks to @kolo toté for the tip :)
