5.0 out of 5 stars
A good presentation of a not so easy subject
Do a series of numbers converge or diverge? That is, does the series you are looking at go on forever, or end in some number? How do sequences and sets relate to each other? Is there a set that contains infinite sequences? From the expansion of elementary functions, to the power series, this book makes your journey into this area of mathematics understandable, even...

Not suitable for people who want to learn from scratch
Learning infinite sequences from this book is not recommended for beginners like me. I suggest reading Calculus by John Stewart where evaluation of limits is demonstrated. Stewart proceeds along with different types of tests compared to this book. This one is more "formula oriented" Regards, Yasir [...]

Do a series of numbers converge or diverge? That is, does the series you are looking at go on forever, or end in some number? How do sequences and sets relate to each other? Is there a set that contains infinite sequences? From the expansion of elementary functions, to the power series, this book makes your journey into this area of mathematics understandable, even enjoyable. If you are a MathPhile, or want to be, this book is highly recommended.

Nice book on infinite sequences and series.,

This review is from: Infinite Sequences and Series (Dover Books on Mathematics) (Paperback)
Very dry, hard to read for long periods. The 174 pages seem like about 300. I think this could be due to the translation. Very complete, gives you everything you could want to know about infinite series. *Not* for those of you who are easily bored...

Please, be more serious.,

This review is from: Infinite Sequences and Series (Dover Books on Mathematics) (Paperback)
This little book by Konrad Knopp is a masterpiece of rigor and clarity. If you are a beginner, that's ok, but then you are not qualified to rate this book. One star, come on! That is an insult.
