Name	Statement	Comments
Divergence Test		If then may or may not converge. Hint: Use the behavior of the limit, how goes to zero, as a clue!
Comparison Test	Let be series with positive terms such that: if converges then converges. Similarly, if diverges, then diverges.	While this test is the foundation of most other tests, use it as a last resort. Other tests are often easier to apply.
