		Therefore, since the integral from 1 to infinity of 1/x^2 converges (be careful with limits of integration) we know by the absolute convergence test that integral from 1 to infinity of sin(x)/x^2 converges..
		Therefore, the integral from 0 to 1 of sin(x)/x^2 must diverge since the integral from 0 to 1 of 1/x diverges.
		If you want an example where this asymptotic test fails when we have more than one trouble spot in the domain of integration you need not look far: The integral from 0 to infinity of 1/(x^2+1) converges and the integral from 0 to infinity of 1/x^2 diverges...

		Both situations (converge or diverge) can be explained graphically, because the same series can be drawn as different rectagular approximation methods for estimating the integral of the same function f(x).
		Where R is the remainder, S is the sum found using the integral test, and a is the function made from the series.
		Integrals can often be used to bound a finite sum (of a series that is decreasing and positive).

	Convergence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Convergence of random variables pertains to any one of several notions of convergence in probability theory.
		Convergence and "convergence time" are a process and a measure, respectively, of the adaptation of a computer network to unplanned changes in its topology or structure.
		For example, a routing protocol's convergence time is how long it takes between when a link is broken to when all of the routers (nodes) in the network have restructured their routing tables to take the next most optimal path.

	Integral test for convergence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics, the integral test for convergence is a method used to test infinite series of non-negative terms for convergence.
		An early form of the test of convergence was developed in India by Madhava in the 14th century, and by his followers at the Kerala School.
		In Europe, it was later developed by Maclaurin and Cauchy and is sometimes known as the Maclaurin-Cauchy test.

		The integral is divergent and so the series is also divergent by the Integral Test.
		The integral is convergent and so the series must also be convergent by the Integral Test.
		It is important to note before leaving this section that in order to use the Integral Test the series terms MUST be positive. If they are negative then the test doesn’t work. Also remember that the test only determines the convergence of a series and does NOT give the value of the series.

		A condition for the convergence of a series which does not use the notion of its sum is the Cauchy criterion for the convergence of a series.
		A necessary and sufficient condition for the convergence of the series (5) is that the sequence of its partial sums is bounded above.

		A common sense example of Convergence is in bargaining a price in an informal market.

	Improper Integrals and Series: The Integral Test
		Improper integrals and series have a lot in common.

		So depending on the nature of the problem, you may switch from one to the other one via the integral test.
