Solution Summary

We examine and explain the reasoning behing the idea of the uniform convergence of a series.

Solution Preview

A series converges means that the sequence of its partial sums converges.
You can define a sequence s_n = sum_{k=1}^n a_n and if it has a limit, s, then the series converges to this limit, and the sum of the series is s.
The definition of convergence of a sequence is that for every epsilon there is an N such that for all n>N we have |s_n - s| < epsilon.

Now, if the general term of the sequence or a ...
