Some criteria for convergence of infinite series:
If it "absolutely converges", it converges.
Comparison theorem; if a series with positive terms is bounded above by a convergent series, then it too converges.
Integral test; if our series comes from a decreasing positive function, then the series converges if and only if the improper integral converges. We actually proved this!
